Yngwie J. Malmsteen single-handedly birthed the neoclassical metal subgenre with this staggering showcase of technical guitar virtuosity. The largely instrumental album blends complex, Bach-inspired arpeggios with the heavy, energetic gallop of hard rock, completely redefining the parameters of electric guitar playing.
