Nevermore's guitarist offers an instrumental album of awesome metallic shredding, but also very song-based and memorable, with proggy tendencies and plenty of melody within the aggression. Features guest spots by Ron Jarzombek (Spastic Ink, Blotted Science, Watchtower), Pat O'Brien (Cannibal Corpse, ex-Nevermore) and inhuman bassist Michael Manring...even producer Neil Kernon plays fretless guitar on "Cashmere Shiv".
