Howling Sycamore

Well, this is a strange collection of musicians. Pairing tech-death drumming maestro Hannes Grossmann and former Ephel Duath guitarist Davide Tiso may not be that shocking, but Jason McMaster (Dangerous Toys, Watchtower) on vocals is going to throw everyone for a loop. And if that wasn't enough, why not toss in a sax guy? Enter Yakuza's Bruce Lamont. If this all sounds a bit strange, it is. It's not completely over-the-top, as musically this falls into the techy extreme metal camp, though McMaster's 80's hard rock vocals make for an odd fit, even though he's still got a fine, commanding voice. An interesting collaboration to say the least.
