Cacophony was a US heavy metal band formed in San Francisco in 1986. The group featured guitarists Jason Becker and Marty Friedman, known for their extreme virtuosity and classical influences. Their debut album, Speed Metal Symphony, released in 1987, showcased an instrumental style blending classical music with exotic scales. The following year, they released Go Off!. Cacophony disbanded in 1989 due to Becker's diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). After the split, Friedman joined Megadeth and Becker collaborated with David Lee Roth before both pursued solo careers.
