Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released at the height of the instrumental guitar shred phenomenon, this debut is a highly disciplined showcase of virtuosic neoclassical sweeping and picking techniques. Moore's immaculate, lightning-fast guitar work is backed by a tight, progressive rhythm section featuring future Dream Theater keyboardist Kevin Moore, maintaining strong melodicism throughout.
