Spastic Ink
Ink Complete
Wildly inventive, creatively ungoverned, mind-bending instrumental tech/prog metal from the minds, hands and feet of heralded TX brothers Ron (g) and Bobby Jarzombek (dr) and fellow San Antonian Pete Perez (bs).
Line-up:
Ron Jarzombek (BLOTTED SCIENCE, MARTY FRIEDMAN, WATCHTOWER) - guitars
Pete Perez (RIOT, LEATHERWOLF) - bass
Bobby Jarzombek (HALFORD, SEBASTIAN BACH, RIOT) - drums
Reviews:
Although instrumental records from proficient players are often about as appealing as the hastily forgotten Lemmy spread in Playgirl, Ron Jarzombek stands stands out above all of them, less an over-practiced virtuosos than a craftsman - turned - mathematician.

Makes me wonder if these guys are really human and not some alien androids that eat syncopations for lunch and just disguises into rock musicians. For fans of challenging music this is a MUST!!!!

Let me tell you, this is the most technical album I have ever heard!!! The musicianship is of the highest order, and I believe Ron is the greatest metal guitarist ever to grace the planet! His playing is truly unique and absolutely phenomenal!! Some of the guitar lines he has come up with sound inhuman!

What you get from Spastic Ink is more than the typical. You get the extraordinary. You get groundbreaking play from three highly-skilled musicians who aren't afraid to explore the limits of their ability. And this is truly what sets "Ink Complete" apart as one of the more innovative pieces of music to be exposed this decade.
