E M
By Glenn Astarita
Eminent progressive-rock drummer and bandleader Dave Kerman provides the punishing backbeats for this power trios wily sonic assault on E M. With steely-edged choruses, linear patterns, and trance-like forward motion, the bands sound resembles a crosspollination of death metal and classic prog rock.
Guitarist Michael Lance Serviolo incorporates stinging sustain lines into his supercharged arsenal, along with injections of metallic grunge-rock stylizations. The group pursues a series of unexpected shifts in momentum, coupled with traces of humor and cyclical movements to counterbalance the huge wall-of-sound permutations. And they get down and dirty when Serviolo and bassist Tom Sublett often harmonize primary themes. Yet Serviolos bone-shattering crunch chords generate the ominous musings.
On Etudes of Staurn/Hunting Lodge Tank, Kerman renders a Ravel Bolero-like pulse, subsequently leading to a frantic 4/4 groove that's awash with odd-metered deviations. In other spots, the music features phased guitar parts, mutant electronics and a sequence of quirky digressions. Ultimately, its a fun listen and somewhat typical of the off-kilter ambitions (regardless of genre) that have earmarked the ReR labels experimental manifesto.

Maybe for his next trick, illusionist David Blaine will arrange to have himself sewn up in the rotting carcass of an elephant. He could eat Funyuns, watch TV and beat off in there -- then emerge triumphantly at the next Republican National Convention, weeping messiah-like as red, white and blue confetti showers down with the indifference of acid rain. Similarly dark, sinister and claustrophobic, guitarist Mike Serviolo's new batch of IZ tunes sutures together a monolithic beast with surgical sleight of hand. Assisted by lab partner/drummer Dave Kerman (Thinking Plague, 5uu's, Bob Drake) and bassist/synth wiz Tom Sublett (Uversa), Serviolo grafts minimalist prog metal with fusion, free jazz, atonal noise and splatterpunk. Referencing every six-stringer from Rhys Chatham to Ace Frehley, this inventive trio excites the loins as much as the lobes. Complex time signatures might dominate "Screaming Baby Cyborg" and "Land of the Broken Toys," but it's the album's gut-driven elements that are enough to make Houdini proud.
