"Thoughts From A Stone” is the newest 21+ minute opus from multi-national technical death metal act COMA CLUSTER VOID! The group is comprised of Mike DiSalvo (ex-Cryptopsy), Austin Taylor and Genevieve DiSalvo trading off on lead guttural vocals, Sylvia Hinz providing classical mezzosoprano vocals, bass guitar and double bass recorder, John Strieder on 10-string guitar and cello, Chris Burrows on drums and guest Alexa Renger on violin. “Thoughts From A Stone” encapsulates the most forward thinking progression in technical death metal. The band describes “Thoughts From A Stone" as representing a whole world within the spanning 21:40 minutes: “A journey into the darkest recesses of the human mind”, explains guitarist John Strieder. Evolving from primeval mists, to pompous riffage, to mathy chaos, to a dark ballad, into the highest highs to the lowest lows, and finally reaching back to the Intro “I Am” of their 2016 debut record Mind Cemeteries. Featuring avant garde and experimental trio XELMYA, COMA CLUSTER VOID are poised to turn heads and shock the metalsphere with their saturated and expansive sonic palette.
