Description

This was originally planned as an instrumental side-project of his then-current band Alcatrazz, but due to singer Jeff Scott Soto’s appearance on the album, Malmsteen opted to release it as a solo album. It reached No. 14 on the Swedish albums chart, No. 60 on the US Billboard 200, and received a nomination for Best Rock Instrumental Performance at the 1986 Grammy Awards. The album is regarded as a landmark release in the shred and neoclassical metal genres.
