Album Description
Known for his groundbreaking work with progressive metal icons Fates Warning, guitarist Jim Matheos reveals a more contemplative side of his artistry on First Impressions. Originally released in 1993, this instrumental acoustic album showcases Matheos’ gift for mood, melody, and technical finesse—delivering a moving journey of introspective soundscapes and delicate guitar work.
