Disgruntled with his view of lack of record company support Malmsteen shrugged off Polydor to sign to Elektra Records for his next album. However, the momentum was maintained as 1992's 'Fire And Ice' debuted in the Japanese charts at the coveted number 1 position.

Edman decamped, going on to front a series of commendable Hard Rock projects including GLORY, STREET TALK, KHARMA and CROSSFADE. Malmsteen's 1994 vocalist, for the 'Seventh Sign' outing in February, was former OBSESSION and LOUDNESS frontman Mike Vescera. Other new additions were ZILLION, BEAU NASTY and ARTENSION drummer Mike Terrana, keyboardist Mats Olausson and bassist Barry Sparks. 'Seventh Sign', recorded at New River Studios with recording credits going out to Jeff Glixman and Jim Thomas, landed at number 2 in Japan. Malmsteen completed a successful American club tour with former DRIVER drummer B.J. Zampa to round up 1994.

Terrana later joined METALIUM and RAGE. Zampa would work with THUNDERHEAD and DAVID WAYNE'S METAL CHURCH.
