War To End All Wars
The Story
Showing more aggression than usual on "War To End All Wars" is neo-classical guitar wizard Yngwie J. Malmsteen, as he blazes through eleven instrumental tracks and three amazing instrumentals ("Molto Arpeggiosa", "Preludium" and "Instrumental Institution"). CMJ called the CD, "A platform for Yngwie's awe-inspiring guitar solos... another gem to drool over." Malmteen further refines the neo-classical style here, using frightening speed, a wicked vibrato, and brilliant harmonies to enhance each track - the emphasis is on the guitar once again, where it should be. "War To End All Wars" will take you through the shred battlefield, riddle you with arpeggios, pedal tones and swept licks, then carry you to victory on the back of the brilliant instrumentation.
