The jazz-metal quintet around guitarist, composer and arranger Jan Zehrfeld has achieved cult status in the prog/math/djent/tech-metal and jazz-fusion scene worldwide.
The original compositions and covers ("Verkrassungen") of well-known pieces have become an unmistakable trademark of the band. The music is humorous, mathematically constructed, organically reconstructed; in an alternating bath of virtuoso power and casual airiness, complex riffs and jazzy improvisations are performed with breathtaking precision and joy of playing at the highest musical level, true to Zehrfeld's motto "Headbanging with brains". The album "Übercode Oeuvre", which will be released in spring 2025, will be presented.
Virgil Donati's drumming has been a world leader for several decades, and his composing and orchestration skills are also highly regarded. Always exploring the possibilities beyond the norm, he broke through traditional genre boundaries as an introspective free spirit. He has toured and recorded albums with Planet X, Steve Vai, Allan Holdsworth, Tony MacAlpine, Kiko Loureiro, Bunny Brunel, Scott Henderson and Steve Walsh, among others
Anton Davidyants became internationally known in 2010 with the power fusion trio "Impact Fuze". Since then he has toured the world with jazz/rock/fusion legends such as Guthrie Govan, Eric Marienthal, Damien Schmitt and many more. His highly virtuosic style is unique and combines solid, powerful groove with filigree and high-speed precision.
