Feedback for Theodore Ziras' "Virtual Virtuosity":
""Virtual Virtuosity" is Ziras's second solo instrumental release, first for Secret Port Records. It can best be described as neoclassical metal.. Ziras takes bits and pieces of his various influences and makes them his own. Unlike Malmsteen, who concentrates on playing real fast and tries to be the center of attention, Ziras focuses more on song structure and melody. He incorporates his talents into making an album that improves upon anything that has already been done by such artists that play neoclassical metal. The production is very good with a well balanced mix. The guitar playing is phenomenal and doesn't overshadow the songs. This album sounds like a band effort but one could never distinguish that because Ziras wrote all the songs and played all the instruments. For the most part, the songs are very reminiscent of the classic Rising Force Malmsteen. I can even make comparisons to some of the instrumentals that Stratovarius have done over the past few albums, though not as fast. There are even times when the songs remind me a little bit of Helstar (Nosferatu era) and Sonata Arctica. The songs range from mid pace to fast tempo. They consist of complex guitar scales and harmonies which are complimented by keyboard wizardry, effectively keeping up with the guitar lead work...This album is well worth checking out for any fan of neoclassical metal".
