Shrapnel blurb:

For nearly twenty-five years , David Chastain has been one of the most active guitarists from the original shred guitar scene, stemming from his multi-faceted talent and long-range career. David Chastain's sales draw from nearly 20 albums and more than 20 years as a recording artist, both as a leader and as a collaborator. There has been a resurgent interest in musician-oriented records from the Shrapnel back catalog as well as in fellow label mates Paul Gilbert, Marty Friedman, Vinnie Moore, Jason Becker and Richie Kotzen. Mystery Of Illusion is one of those seminal records that helped to shape the emerging progressive metal movement.
