Album Notes & Community Reviews

Before achieving massive international fame alongside Megadeth, the guitar virtuoso released this dizzyingly technical instrumental debut. Incorporating complex Middle Eastern scales alongside aggressive thrash riffing, the album showcased a distinctly exotic and highly melodic approach to the crowded neoclassical shred genre.
