Justin Chancellor, la perfecta sinestecia.



Justin Chancellor tuvo su primer contacto con el bajo a la temprana edad de 8 años, a los 14, entre sus amigos de Inglaterra, comenzaban a realizar sus primeros ensayos, para la que luego fuera su banda conocida como Peach.
Justin Chancellor engendró un primer contacto con la banda Tool en Nueva York, con los quien siguió manteniéndose en abierta relación, por aquellos días. Más tarde Tool realizó una gira por Europa, por los años 1993-1994, tras la realización del álbum Undertow junto con la banda Peach en la que Chancellor tocaba en ese tiempo, quienes habían sacado su nuevo álbum Giving Birth to a Stone, y es así como se producían los primeros desarrollos para llegar así a una gran amistad, en la que comparten gustos y filosofía.

Celebrating this Band. Empty Space Orchestra.



Empty Space Orchestra certainly knows how to fill a room. The Bend, OR quintet of impeccable musicians crafts a symphonic, melodic sound that seamlessly weaves together elements of space rock, prog-metal, noir jazz, post-rock and afro-punk all in one massive blast of energy. Their 9-song, 50-minute self-titled debut album is a hook-laden marriage of heft and harmony that veers far away from the navel-gazing jamming often associated with music of such explorative origins. Elements of The Mars Volta's most frenetic moments merge with soaring post-rock of Russian Circles, as well as hints of Deftones, Dub Trio and lilting chamber pop all colliding in brilliant synergy from one song to the next. 


The group of classically-trained musicians is anchored by the stunning power and precision of drummer Lindsey Elias -- clearly a musician soon to hold rank amongst her most celebrated male counterparts. Guitarist Shane Thomas and bassist Patrick Pearsall provide a balance of head-bobbing riffs interspersed with tasteful and inventive lines that weave like musical narrative throughout. Meanwhile, multi-instrumentalists Keith O'Dell (keyboards, piano) and Graham Jacobs (saxophone, flute, synths) add myriad melodic layers and cinematic moods that often deftly counterbalance heavy riffs with glissando piano melodies and swaggering horns.

A journey through psychoactive music with maudlin of the well.


maudlin of the Well (commonly abbreviated as motW) is an avant-garde metal band fromBoston, Massachusetts. Their music contains elements from many different genres includingdoom metal, indie rock, jazz, progressive rock, post rock, progressive metal, death metal andchamber music. After a five year hiatus, the band re-united to record their latest album, Part the Second, which was funded by fan donations and released online May 14, 2009 for free.


Curiosity 
In a blog post on the bands MySpace page on July 27, 2008, Driver revealed that a fan donated enough money to record a new album. Recording started on February 10, 2009, and the album, titled Part the Second was finally released in May 2009. It is available for free download in various file formats (MP3, FLAC and WAV) on motW's website, torrent networks, or alternatively, it can be streamed directly from the site. An amalgam of many different musical styles, the new songs share an ethereal quality with previous motW recordings, but are distinctly more mellow than the group's prior releases.

Porcupine Tree

Porcupine Tree is a progressive rock band formed by Steven Wilson in 1987 in Hemel Hempstead, England. Their music is difficult to categorise, being associated with bothpsychedelic rock and progressive rock, yet having been influenced by trance, krautrock andambient due to Steven Wilson and Richard Barbieri's penchant for the Kosmische Musikscene of the early 1970s, led by bands such as Tangerine Dream, Neu! and Can.[3] Since the early 2000s, their music has been leaning towards progressive metal and alternative rock.
