If you like heavier stuff check out his first solo album Dragons Kiss which is more speed metal oriented, still epic stuff if you can appreciate it. Marty also plays on Cacophony's 2 albums Speed Metal Symphony and Go Off! As well as several Megadeath and Tourniquet albums. He also has a lot of other solo albums the most recent of which came out in 2017 and is called Wall Of Sound.
