Is this as opposed to “perpetual burn”, the neo classical shred album by Jason Becker?
I don’t think so…
You’ll find words like Perpetual crop up frequently throughout the genre. Malmsteen himself had a track called Perpetual on his Fire & Ice album in 92′. If memory serves, Malmsteen was a big deal a few years before Becker (who is also legendary) was. Really looking forward to this album, having waited without any update for months and months it is a thrill to finally have some cool track titles to chew on.
