Often cited as one of the greatest and most influential instrumental rock guitar albums ever recorded, Steve Vai’s second studio album Passion And Warfare was originally released through Relativity/Epic Records in September 1990 and has been certified Gold by the RIAA for surpassing 500,000 units sold.

Inspired by a series of dreams Vai had experienced as a young man, he describes the album as “Jimi Hendrix meets Jesus Christ at a party that Ben Hur threw for Mel Blanc”. Sketches and concepts for the record started as early as 1982 but were shelved after Vai joined David Lee Roth's band. When they parted ways, Vai was determined to finish it and ended up recording it in his home studio The Mothership while also working on the guitar parts for Whitesnake's 1989 album Slip of the Tongue.

The album includes the classic track “For the Love of God", cited as one of the best solos of all time in a Guitar World magazine reader’s poll. This edition, originally released in 2016, also includes four bonus tracks from the Passion And Warfare sessions. To boot, it has been remastered from the original analogue master tapes by the legendary Bernie Grundman, one of the best studio engineers in the business.

Passion And Warfare (25th Anniversary Edition) is available as limited edition of 3000 individually numbered copies on yellow, red and black marbled vinyl.
