His Shrapnel neo-classical debut. This album introduces to Vinnie's state-of-art technique (accuracy, sweep picking, bending, phrasing, modal scales, arpeggios, harmonized solos...) and songwriting and also showcases Tony Macalpine skills playing the keyboards with the acclaimed Aldridge (who also played with such major bands like Whitesnake, Gary Moore and Ozzy Osbourne) & Andy West (formerly of Steve Morse's Dixie Dregs) team work. Vinman's penchant for dramatic tunes leads this album to a very impressive and emotional music.
