Eyal Levi and Emil Werstler of Daath and Sean Reinert of Cynic (ex-Death) have created a metal-based instrumental project swathed in classical sensibilities flirting with almost every musical genre known to mankind – well, the ones that don’t suck.  It’s like Black Sabbath meets Beethoven meets B.B. King in a majestic aural tale-spinning onslaught.

The way the Levi/Werstler track Dura Mater is crafted together with a contrast of subtlety and all out in-your-face musical impact for some reason brings to my mind the demonic visual mastery of  the car crash scene in Final Destination II – a tail-spinning onslaught.

It’s freaking awesome.  Go listen.  Check it out here.  Interview with Eyal Levi forthcoming in the near future bezrat Hashem.

…and I just found out my friend, the prolific Maor Appelbaum, is the one who mastered this new album and I’m very, very impressed. 😀 :D.
