The album kicks off with this tune, which features a super nerdy drum set intro with some droning guitar work. There's a motif, in that the first bar of each phrase is similar with only slight alterations. Everything else is absolutely nuts; there are polyrhythms, polymeters, fusion-esque licks, odd note groupings, interdependence stuff, metric modulation/superimposition and everything that would pique the interest of a prog-head or music major. It doesn't start with all guns blazing, I try to build it -- somewhat -- but it's hard to build a 32-bar prog/metal solo dynamically, haha. Another brief part of noteworthiness occurs at 2:20-2:25. Every time a new string of kicks start, I strike either the crash or china cymbal. The snare falls with the china and many of the gaps are filled with snares/ghosts/tom-toms. The result sounds very angular. As mentioned in the video description for the studio movie, this tune features Zack Orway's blazin' shred solo from 2:06 - 2:25. I apologize (again, heh) for the shoddy frame rate during this part, although it kinda lends a mechanical visual feel to the already mechanical-sounding music. Sometimes my camera poops out if I record for too long; it's a bummer. It happened only once more during the end of another tune, so most of the footage isn't lackluster, thankfully.
