Everyone knows about HELMET
but check out some info on Intronaut who is the tour openers
Southern California’s INTRONAUT are truly one of the most intricate and exciting bands to come along in quite some time. Incorporating an intelligent-yet-psychedelic instrumentation, incredible polyrhythmic moments and the awe-inspiring vocals of Sacha Dunable, the band has become one of the most respected groups in the modern progressive (or Thinking Man’s Metal) scene. Now INTRONAUT is preparing to unleash what is perhaps their greatest work yet with the release of Valley of Smoke on October 12th via Century Media Records. The highly anticipated album is full of surprises, including the title track, which is the focus of their latest installment of the In The Valley of Smoke web series. The instrumental track employees the use of two drum sets and two bass guitars resulting in one of the band’s most epic pieces yet. You can look at the making of this track at the following location: http://bit.ly/agqJwB
