Marty Friedman gave more details regarding his upcoming album.
When he was at Metalmania III he commented on his new work ( via Blabbermouth ): “I have 15 solo albums now, and each time I try to do something new and something I’ve never done before. I never want to be heard as one of those guys, 'Oh, your first albums were great.' You know what I mean? I used to say that about my favorite guitarists – unfortunately – and I never wanted that said about me. So, I’m always challenging myself with new things.”
“On this new album, which I’m already 70% done, the closest thing I can relate it to is an album I called Scenes [1992], which I released a while ago. It was very dramatic and orchestral, and there were many other types of instruments – violins, cellos, and all that sort of thing. So it’s more of a dramatic and orchestral concept. But everything I’ve learned since that Scenes has grown exponentially, so it’s on a much larger scale. So, if you like that Scenes , I think this will be your choice.”
