Album Notes & Community Reviews
Following the sudden dissolution of his highly influential Seattle band Nevermore, the legendary seven-string guitarist delivers his sophomore solo effort. The album is a staggeringly technical, largely instrumental showcase of his signature neoclassical shredding and incredibly aggressive, highly complex thrash-metal rhythm playing. Featuring an expansive roster of guest musicians including Marty Friedman and Ihsahn, the project solidified his status as one of the most uniquely proficient guitarists in modern extreme metal.
