Ron Jarzombek's band.

Other tracks on the ‘The Animation of Entomology’ EP are apparently also synced to scenes in various horror films.

‘Cretaceous Chasm in 12-Tone Fragments’ explains the music theory behind the track.

fucking yEEEAAAAAAH bloooted science!

Ron is literally the most underrated guitarist in existence. Talent, longevity and influence by the bucketful, works as a teacher and plays in local cover bands.

I don't care that much about how bad it is that AI is "robbing talented musicians of careers" when humanity was already doing that to people like Ron. The damage is already fucking done.

(NB: not my nuianced , full take, just fuck people)

Also btw, his brother Bobby was the drummer in Ron's previous band Spastic Ink.

Apparently the band WatchTower, in which Jarzombek was back in the day, invented technical-thrash in the eighties, together with Voivod and Coroner. Which genre begat technical-death, of course.
