Six insanely talented musicians from the Reading area, who collectively produce the most technical and exciting metal today. Buy their stunning album, The Echo Verses, to experience for yourself, the juxtaposition of metallic dissonance, migraine inducing time signature changes and beatific harmonies. An encounter of the fourth kind!
