Blotted Science - The Machinations Of Dementia
Review by Travis Tutwiler, Harder Beat
Equipped with the technical prowess of Liquid Tension Experiment (without the keyboards) but with a much heavier groove, Blotted Science has unleashed a progressive-metal masterpiece. Their highly anticipated release, The Machinations Of Dementia, is an instrumental explosion of time changes, guitar shredding, stand-out bass lines and sick drumming that come together with a sense of controlled chaos. The offering boasts 16 mesmerizing tracks including: “Synaptic Plasticity,” “Night Terror” and “Bleeding In the Brain.” San Antonio legend, Ron Jarzombek, showcases his stellar guitar work by pulling off incredible fretboard heroics with ease. He is joined by the equally talented Alex Webster (bass), who has spent much of his time in Cannibal Corpse. Rounding out the trio is in-demand session drummer Charlie Zelaney, who has toured with Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater). Musicians and metal fans will be left speechless.
