Dan Presland, Alex Baillie, Martino Garattoni - To Remain Dormant - Progressive Metal

This band is a collective effort from Alex Baillie, Dan Presland & Martino Garattoni. Known for their work in the likes of Ne Obliviscaris, Vipassi, Cognizance & Ancient Bards (to name a few). This outfit presents an instrumental yet visceral take on Progressive Death Metal. The project started almost 2 years ago when I (Dan) put a facebook status up (how sick is social media for this aspect?) of any sick guitarists who wanted to collaborate on some tunes. Alex hit me up and the rest is history. I actually tracked drums for this over a year ago on the back of a session job I did as I finished early. Tino then slapped some bass and Alex laid his riffage down to finish it off. Alex wrote practically the whole chunk of this track, and we all chimed in with our own flavors to create what you hear. We are real stoked on this little creative effort, and who knows what could happen in the future! If you enjoy, please share!

Mixed and Mastered by John Douglass at Vorticist Studios, Atlanta.
Drums recorded at Dan's studio.
