http://welcome.to/bnrmetal (and look up Watchtower and Spastic Ink)

That should give you a general knowledge about them. Basically, Watchtower is one of the founding bands of the Technical Metal genre, and to date are still one of the best. They broke up after releasing 2 albums, then they got back together a couple years ago and are working on a new album. Spastic Ink is a project formed by Ron Jarzombek, Watchtower's guitarist starting with the 2nd album. They are similar in style to Watchtower's 2nd CD, but all instrumental and more complex. They are working on a sophomore CD with lots of guest musicians and it is almost done. Go to those sites to find out more if you are interested.
