Description/Reviews: 

Four long-form, heavy instrumental songs. Each song is a narrative; three are essays in the form of music. One is a short story. Heavy piano, synthesizers, samplers, bass guitar, and drums. This is not your usual heavy music. It defies convention and conventional wisdom, and trades 7 strings for 88.

Description/Reviews: 

“New Metal From Old Boxes” is a return to his progressive-rock roots with a loud, heavy, energetic and modern suite of instrumentals that evoke King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Nine Inch Nails, and classical music. “New Metal From Old Boxes” features classic, loud rock production and a movie-like tension-filled soundtrack vibe. The music is heavy, cinematic, relentless. There is not one ballad or slow-moving track on the 12-song album. Even the breakdowns are heavy, like moments of Steely Dan with King Crimson’s terrifying rhythm section.
