"Aviations is a Berklee College of Music based progressive metal band formed in 2011. The group was started by drummer James Knoerl from Michigan and guitarist Sam Harchik from Massachusetts. We are looking for another guitarist and a clean vocalist in the vocal style of other bands such as Lower Definition. Contact us at our Gmail or our Facebook page."


This guys definitively don't need (clean) vocalist, their instrumental music is amazing. 


Why this new mood to add sucking cleans vocals on great music? For example, The Contortionist or A Plea For Purging has done the same shit on their last album. Why? Label ask? Public ask? Crazy whores has threated you to cut your balls? 
I think it's really useless...please keep it real.

CAPILLARIES - Into the History of Light (EP) [2012]

Capillaries is an instrumental band of four from Atlanta, GA. The music of Capillaries captures a dark history and remains willing to stay behind and investigate it. There are hints of ambience with a sense of immediacy driving it along. Noise and melody become unintended bedfellows. Bass-driven leads and non-traditional rhythms become the substratum for soaring guitars that take listeners to new heights just before pummeling them back into the earth.

IN EACH HAND A CUTLASS - A universe made of strings [2011]

In Each Hand A Cutlass are an instrumental act comprising of some well known musicians in the Singapore music scene. This band of sonic pirates blends progressive rock, ambient, post rock and metal elements, casting all music boundaries aside, to create epic sprawling yearning songs that alternate between lifting your spirit and kicking your butt.

Proof of this can be found in spades in their debut album "A Universe Made of Strings". The album was mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren (of Opeth / Soilwork / James LaBrie fame) at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden. The album was released in conjunction with their album launch show entitled "The Amaranthine Voyage" at the Esplanade Theatres on the Bay, where they played a triumphant and high-octane set to a sold-out capacity crowd of 250 at the Recital Studio. The show also saw the debut performance of bass player Nelson Tan in the lineup, who recorded on the album and has since become a permanent member of the band.

There’s nothing like creating a soundtrack to life’s unspoken moments and the childlike landscapes that we all paint within ourselves. And that’s exactly what IEHAC hopes to create by weaving through the rich tapestries of different musicalities; constantly exploring new grounds just like how we as human beings constantly grow and learn.

INNERTY - Tabula rasa [2012]

Innerty sees the light of day in January 2003. After the departure of their first bass player, the band will play as a trio for a few years before meeting OYC, tour bass player of The Ocean at the time, and singer/bass player in several other acts.
Influenced by bands ranging from the devastating chaos of The Dillinger Escape Plan or Sikth, the rythmic creativity of Meshuggah or Tool, to the overwhelming athmospheres of Isis and Neurosis; Innerty shape their very own personnality with a well balanced melting pot of metal, hardcore, jazz, prog rock and electronic ambiant, with solid, complex grooves and structures.
After nearly 7 years of gigs and small tours, 2 self released EPs and a few compilation appearances (The Apparatus Mecha Organa being the last one), Innerty's first album, Tabula Rasa, will be relased in 2011.
