Info for Drama

Marty Friedman's presence in the world of music, the world of guitar and Japanese pop culture is enigmatic, bizarre and downright inspiring.From his groundbreaking beginnings with Cacophony alongside the legendary Jason Becker to his pivotal role in propelling Megadeth to the pinnacle of popularity with his breathtaking range and unorthodox melodic sensibilities, MARTY has cemented his status as a one-of-a-kind guitar icon. MARTY announces "Drama", his latest solo album, on which he takes the atmospheric elements of his acclaimed 1992 album "Scenes" only slightly and elevates them into a modern and exotic collection of extravagant and unmistakably emotional mini-symphonies. The album as a whole brings MARTY's mesmerising melodies, surprising arrangements and motifs even more to the fore than any of his previous works. Recorded in Italy, where MARTY had access to a treasure trove of vintage guitars alongside his modern signature models, "Drama" is a pure delight for anyone who appreciates music that stirs the emotions.
