Dysrhythmia - Barrier and Passages



This album (and group) is straight sauce amazing. Another lovely group featuring Colin Marston on the Ginormous Warr guitar. Lets not forget to mention one of my favorite drummers as well Jeff Eber who lends his jazz influenced chops to the mix.  Alt-math rock doesn't get any better truly. Also strangely melodic as well. When this album came out it was joked that Dysrhythmia had written the album that Don Caballeo failed to write that year. Even though they did release an album that year....on the same label...ouch. Truly just so many great moments

Behold...the Arctopus - Nano-Nucleonic Cyborg Summoning/ Skullgrid

 Progressive Tech. Metal



All three of these gentlemen should get some sort of award for song composition. Seriously twisted passages that give way to even more sick metal riffs. Probably not for everyone but hey what really is? This band can get melodic at times or down right shred-tastic (which they more than frequently do) Oh yes and that massively behemoth guitar that Colin Marston is playing is called a Warr Guitar. It is a 15-17 stringed instrument covering both electric and bass guitar. The guitar features an extremely low action for better tapping capabilities. Any fan of technical music or metal in general should at least take a gander.
