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.

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.
