Spastic Ink
Spastic Ink is the solo project for
Watchtower guitarist Ron Jarzombek.
Ink Complete specializes in
super-complex instrumental fusion metal, with
a lot of this stuff making even Watchtower sound simplistic.
Jarzombek's distinctive style is in top form here, as both
his soloing and riffing is unbelievably tight, and yet the
rhythm section of brother Bobby and Pete Perez
matches him every step of the way -- there is no other band alive
today that possesses such technical and musical prowess.
Completely un-radio-friendly, and utterly brilliant in its
complexity.
Work on the followup, Ink Compatible, had been ongoing
for several years, and was finally completed in early 2004.
Contributing to the album is a veritable who's who of prog
metal,
including fellow
Watchtower
members
Jason McMaster and Doug Keyzer,
Sean Malone
(Cynic),
Jens Johannsson
(Stratovarius),
Daniel Gildenlow
(Pain Of Salvation),
Marty Friedman
(Megadeth),
and several others.
