Synners and Saints
Steel Town USA Records' first release; Synesthesia's Synners and Saints, features three incredible vocalists, three shredding guitarists, a keyboard player that is second to none in the business, a virtuoso bass player and a thunderous drummer that plays like he has three feet. The band's principle vocalist is Joe Murphy. Joe's sirenesque quality sets the stage for the band's sound and is the reason he fronts this leviathan of a band. Guest vocalist Rob Guzik sings My Enemy Mine with a ferocity rarely heard in this day and age. His vocal texture reminds you of Pantera but updated into the 21st century and drummer Shawn King and Guitar/Bassist Tony Mollick's backing vocals make for a demon chorus in the middle of the song. Synners and Saints also features a very notable guest vocalist on three songs; Relapse Records recording artist Timmy Aymar, of Control Denied fame. Control Denied was of course the swan song project of DEATH guitarist Chuck Schuldiner. Timmy's psychotic scream has been rightly compared to Halford, Dio and Brian Johnson and has never sounded better than on lake of Fire, True Believers and Sweet Rhapsody. Synners and Saints is a rare record both in its statement and its execution. It is a multi media disc, containing pdf and WORD files with pages and pages of liner notes, as well as over 200 pictures of the band recording Synners and Saints and also from a rare live appearance and you can't get those from a download! These extras make this CD a bargain and a must have for any serious Metal collection.
