Bay Area instrumental wizards ABNORMAL THOUGHT PATTERNS have revealed the official video for the track „Velocity and Acceleration: Movement 7” taken from their new album „Manipulation Under Anesthesia„!
Video editing and production done by Wayne Joyner of The Ghost Network waynejoyner@rocketmail.com.
„Manipulation Under Anesthesia” is set to be released June 14th in Germany, Austria and Switzerland as well as digitally world wide on June 14th, physical release in the rest of Europe on June 17th and on June 25th in North America.
Hailing from the Bay Area, California ABNORMAL THOUGHT PATTERNS is a mathematical instrumental trio that fuses heavy riffs, intricate time signatures and shredding solos. It is hard to describe with words what the trio is doing within its songs, you have to experience it with your own ears and you will be blown away by the sheer technicality these guys have in their fingers!
Bands’ debut for LIFEFORCE RECORDS – „Manipulation Under Anesthesia” – was mixed by Matt LaPlant (Sikth, Nonpoint) and mastered by Alan Douches (Between The Buried and Me, The Dillinger Escape Plan).
Twin brothers Jasun (guitar) and Troy Tipton (bass) along with Mike Guy (drums) are the collective creative force behind ABNORMAL THOUGHT PATTERNS. In 2008, Jasun wrote and recorded a 12-minute instrumental that would ultimately lead to the founding of this new instrumental band. Prior to forming this group, the trio was the backbone of prog-metal powerhouses ZERO HOUR, releasing five albums. Germany’s Rock Hard magazine proclaimed, „Zero Hour is one of the five Best Progressive Newcomers in the late ’90s!” This exactly is what the Californians are continuing with ABNORMAL THOUGHT PATTERNS – but this time with instrumental music.
