Debut album from 1987 by American APOCRYPHA, a cult technical Heavy Metal band that emerged from the renowned Shrapnel Records scene. Produced by Marty Friedman, "The Forgotten Scroll" immediately showcased the outstanding guitar skills of Tom Fredianelli, whose virtuosity forms the backbone of an album where technical brilliance always serves the songs.
Blending speed, melody and exceptional musicianship, the record features intricate twin-guitar work, refined arrangements and a strong American Heavy Metal identity. Rather than focusing on sheer technical display, APOCRYPHA delivers a dynamic and sophisticated release that laid the foundation for the band's later evolution and remains a hidden gem for fans of technical Heavy Metal and shred guitar.
