Description

2018 re-issue with two bonus tracks and radio ADs and an interview

Hawaii was one of two notable bands to originate from the Aloha State (the other being Sacred Rite), and is one of several bands featuring guitarist extraordinaire Marty Friedman famous for his solo works, Cacaphony and Megadeth. As with many early Shrapnel records releases, Hawaii is heavy on the guitar work. The band folded after two albums and one EP. This 2018 re-issue includes bonus material and a booklet with extended liner notes written by Marty Friedman

“Hawaii (the band and the island) represents a unique and very unsettling chapter in my career. The band had a unique cast of characters in and around it, and a great story line, but we couldn’t slay the beast that was battling us every step of the way – the fact that we were on a tiny island literally in the middle of the ocean” – Marty Friedman
