In 1986, quintessential maximalist composer Frank Zappa released Jazz From Hell. With eight tracks of intricately programmed music, most of which were composed on the Synclavier, the completely instrumental album had the dubious honor of being one of the first records to be stamped with the “Parental Advisory” sticker. This mark of profanity was likely due to Zappa’s war against Tipper Gore and the PMRC.
Avant-garde Jazz-Metal band Kilter is back with a new EP – Sys (Alter-Nativ Label) due out on June 25th. The trio led by bassist Laurent David (solo artist, many collaborations, Alter-Nativ owner) with drummer Kenny Grohowski (Imperial Triumphant) and saxophonist Ed Rosenberg III (Jerseyband, Heart of Barf). Following their exceptional 2019 album Axiom and a celebrated tour of Europe, the band continues to shapeshift and evolve with high-concept, heavy music.
