An innovative rock album that is the culmination of the intense creativity of genius guitarist Steve Vai.
This is a work produced by guitarist Steve Vai together with talented musicians such as Devin Townsend. It is a stimulating album that combines virtuoso guitar playing with a heavy band sound, and has deep themes such as religion and sexuality.
Steve Vai boldly expands his musical vision with this album, showcasing a depth of expressiveness that goes beyond mere technique. Devin Townsend's vocals, radiating wild energy, and the powerful rhythms of TM Stevens and Terry Bozzio create a band sound that moves far beyond his previous guitar-driven instrumental style.
