Blotted Science is the new project from guitarist Ron Jarzombek ( Watchtower, Spastic Ink) and Bassist Alex Webster ( Cannibal Corpse). This is tech metal of the highest standard, but it differs a little from the usual tech metal madness. First of all there are no vocals on the album, and secondly although this is very technical music, it´s still listenable.
I found out about the Blotted Science Album through listening to Ron Jarzombek's solo work (A 45 track masterpiece) and came across his most recent release that being his side project Blotted Science.
I find it hard finding anything truly fresh and inspiring in the solo guitar album world but this really is epic, Not often can you find something so brutally heavy combined with guitar work to drool over all mixed into one totally listenable album.
The album starts with possible the defining track Synaptic Plasticity which pretty much sums up what your going to be hearing for the next 57Min's, And yet you don't mind if it all sounds like the first song because its unlike anything you have ever heard or ever will hear.
The rest of album is just as good as track one and is relentless in its ability to have any guitarist throwing in the towel in shame.
Theres nothing more I can say about this album that will do it justice, Its simply brilliant. If your fan of Meshuggah's off beat riffs, John petrucci's progressive Solo guitar and The crushing sounds of Pantera this is the best thing to ever be recorded.
10/10
