1990's Area 54 was the third (and final) album from Apocrypha, who released a string of very solid power metal albums along the lines of Helstar and Malice. It was released on the Shrapnel label, so you know there is going to be plenty of guitar wizardry on the album (hence songs like the appropriately-titled "Instrubation #3").

Apocrypha was more than just an excuse for a shred artist Tony Friedanelli to strut his stuff though. Area 54 is a well-rounded power/thrash album that bears a passing resemblance to early Megadeth albums in that the songs touch on current events ("Tian'anmen Square", "The Power Elite") as well as darker, fantasy-themed material ("Terror's Holding On To You", "Area 54"). There’s a Vicious Rumors meets Sanctuary vibe as well.

Fans of quality American power metal should find plenty to enjoy in this album, including well written songs, killer vocals, and yes, some seriously impressive guitar solos. The riffs are speedy enough to appeal to most thrash fans as well.
