Since 1998, avant-garde instrumental technical metal trio Dysrhythmia have been producing angular and dissonant forms of heavy music where jazz, metal and progressive tendencies collide. Now hailing from Brooklyn since 2005 by way of Philadelphia, this eclectic unit is currently out on the road touring in support of their latest album, the dizzying six-track release entitled PSYCHIC MAPS. Featuring the talents of Kevin Hufnagel on guitar, Colin Marston on bass and Jeff Eber on drums, this squad of seasoned veterans are no stranger to the rigors of the rock ‘n roll lifestyle, as they’ve been on countless tours sharing stages with the likes of Isis, Mastodon, and The Dillinger Escape Plan, all the while fulfilling their own solo efforts, such as Marston’s countless other musical endeavors (Behold the Arctopus and his recording studio in Queens, NY) as well as Marston’s and Hufnagel’s latest outside interest of backing up Canadian tech death metal pioneers Gorguts. Combining well-versed musicianship, a daring sense of adventure, and a love for left of center instrumental music, Dysrhythmia shred the blueprint and break the boundaries to create an organically-bred strand of menacing and malevolent metallic madness intertwining the precision of math metal and the limitless possibilities art metal possess. – Mike SOS
