DESCRIPTION:
Kuni was a Japanese guitar virtuoso, and like one time KISS guitarist Vinny Vincent was able to transform his skills into an awesome melodic, commercially tinged heavy metal outfit, like said guitarist done with Vinny Vincent Invasion. Kuni himself didn't take the centre stage, masturbatory egomaniacal approach to his music like certain other virtuoso's done, instead he writes material, which though featuring brilliant guitars, and dazzling displays of talent, doesn't revolve simply around guitar-wank, but genuinely songs written and performed holistically. Kuni's music also features an array of heavy metal and hard rock superstars, this time round Jeff Scott Soto, who was fresh from tremendous performances on Malmsteen's first two solo albums. Superstar drummer Mike Terrana (who has drummed for acts as famous and diverse as Masterplan, Axel Rudi Pell, Not Fragile, Rage & of course Yngwie Malmsteen) steps in for the album too.
