 Terror Syndrome drummer Ryan van Poederooyen (The Devin Townsend Band) has issued the following update:
"Here's another instrumental song off of the debut Terror Syndrome
album. This song is called 'Rusty Trombone' and features guest
appearances by Alex Skolnick (TESTAMENT) and Trevor Dunn (MR. BUNGLE,
FANTOMAS). This is another instrumental song I wrote with Dave Young.
The song itself is twisted and progressive with a tinge of heaviness. I
didn't want to write an album that was straight out metal the whole way
through. I wanted an album that had diversity and some cool
musicianship with great players. 'Rusty Trombone' delivers in every
way! Alex Skolnick and Trevor Dunn are un-fucking-believable on this
song. Trevor's Bass playing is exactly what I pictured it to be...
ultra creative, tasteful and plainly awesome!!!! This song was written
with Trevor in mind. He informed me that he used his Alembic 5 String
Bass from his Mr. Bungle days when he recorded his part, which I
thought was pretty fucking cool. Alex Skolnick's guest appearance is
completely sick as well. The mid guitar solo section was written
heavier for Alex, so he could shred his metal roots and the very end of
the song Alex contributes an awesome Bebop Jazz Solo..... yes Jazz
solo!!! Alex has been playing Jazz for many, many years and I wanted
him to show off his Jazz side in the same song. Like I said this song
is twisted. Overall 'Rusty Trombone' delivered in every way I pictured
it to. It's diverse, twisted, creative and tasteful with some
heaviness. I hope you all dig it as much as I do. Thanks again to Alex
and Trevor for their amazing contributions.
Lastly, thanks to all you Terror Syndrome fans for the support. Our
album has been out digitally since July 10th on iTunes and other
various digital distribution companies. You're support has been awesome
and we really appreciate it and love every single one of you
Terrorizers!!! More announcements to come soon, including our first
live date.... yes, Terror Syndrome live!!!! Stay posted and keep
spreading the terror!"
