A virtuoso guitar album that reaches the pinnacle of neoclassical metal.
This is the culmination of Malmsteen's overwhelming technique and classical aesthetic, a true guitar hero.
Tracks like "Heaven Tonight" feature guitar orchestrations heavily influenced by Baroque music, and Malmsteen's deep understanding of music theory and exceptional performance technique are beautifully combined to create a masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of the neoclassical metal genre.
