Cacophony - Speed Metal Symphony

Now, probably all of you know Marty Friedman from Megadeth, and maybe half of you know about this short-lived band he had with Jason Becker before that.  But, how many of those have actually heard this beautiful work?  Almost none, I expect, that's why I'm posting it today.

This album easily exceeds anything these guys have done solo, and parts are even good enough to have gone into Rust in Peace.  You just have lead, after lead, after lead going on here.  There are some solid riffs thrown in (otherwise, it wouldn't be Metal), but the focus here is definitely on the solos and the melody.  Like any shred album, the solos seemingly go on forever, but they're always backed up by quality songwriting.  If you're a fan of seriously technical Metal, you have to give this a listen.  I mean, look at these guys, how can you say no to them?

Savage in the night!
