	Virtuosos Derek Sherinian, Virgil Donati, Marco Minnemann, Marco Sfogli and Taka Minamino perform on the new avante-garde experimental progressive metal album, which incorporates influences spanning jazz fusion, classical/symphonic, techno/industrial, funk and new age. Virgil Donati and Marco Minnemann each perform two versions of the same seven minutes of music, providing a unique opportunity to compare how these two celebrated drummers interpret the same composition in each of their inimitable, jaw-dropping styles. Record preview and other samples: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VclCTvBf_A8 https://itunes.apple.com/album/synecron/id710615908?v0=9988&ign-mpt=uo%3D1 http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/nathanfrost I call the music "ultra-progressive" and "stream-of-consciousness" because the songs were made to have as little repetition as possible while maintaining a smooth, coherent emotional flow. So the extended length (7-10 minute) songs "progress" in a "stream-of-consciousness" journey rather than following a traditional verse-chorus-bridge song structure. Of course, the music is overwhelmingly Metal -- it features heavy guitar riffs, prominent drums, and some shredding on all instruments. Other hallmarks of progressive rock include many layers of music happening at once, "genre-fusing" elements of music not typically found in metal, some odd time signatures here and there, and a concept to tie the record together.
