ZERO HOUR, CYNTHESIS Members Join Forces In ABNORMAL THOUGHT PATTERNS
  Posted on Wednesday, November 02, 2011 at 16:11:21 EST 
     A trio of progressive metal enigmas, all core and founding members of  heralded technical act ZERO HOUR have formed a brand new outfit,  ABNORMAL THOUGHT PATTERNS, and are about to unleash their  recently-recorded debut EP. 
		
		
	
	
 
Formed by Northern California-based brothers Jasun and Troy Tipton  (both also of CYNTHESIS) and Mike Guy (Zero Hour), the instrumental act  is arguably the most mind-melting display of technical proficiency from  this closely-knit trio to date. Having performed together for over eight  years in a variety of well-known progressive metal acts, Abnormal  Thought Patterns fuse angular riffs, intricate time signatures and  intense solos, generally at a very high velocity, constantly creating  highly intense and invigorating song structures. In order to complete  the live sound, the trio recruited longtime friend and talented  guitarist Richard Sharman; a student of Jasun's for many years and a  great addition to the group. 
Together these four gifted musicians have created a blazing  self-titled debut EP, which will see release on November 29th via the  band's own, newly-formed CynNormal Lab Recordings. The four-part epic  'Velocity and Acceleration' and bass-only track 'Ulnar Nerve Damage'  were mixed by talented producer/engineer Dino Alden (MARTY FRIEDMAN,  Zero Hour), but due to Dino's carpal surgeries the band reached out to  Matt LaPlant (SIKTH, NONPOINT) to mix the tracks 'The Machine Within'  and 'Electric Sun'. The EP was mastered by Alan Douches (BETWEEN THE  BURIED AND ME, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN) and the cover artwork  commissioned to Erick "Wurm" Pollard.
