With each successive release the question always is asked How will the Tipton Brothers top their last album? The bands fifth album, Dark Deceiver, is another jaw-dropping achievement of technical metal. The quartet of Jasun Tipton, Troy Tipton, Mike Guy, and Chris Salinas take their chops from hell attitude to a new level. In creating Zero Hour, the brothers envisioned a dark, heavy, emotional vibe, expressed through intricate arrangements, forceful vocals, and meaningful lyrics.
2006 found the band in a curious situation. Although they were attracting attention and accolades around the world they were in need of a new vocalist. The problem was solved by the arrival of noted vocalist Chris Salinas, formerly of Power Of Omens. The resulting album Specs Of Pictures Burnt Beyond met with stellar reviews, a US tour and a headlining slot at the Headway Festival in Netherland. The year culminated in the bands third appearance at ProgPower USA in Atlanta the largest progressive metal festival in the world.
For the recording of their new album the band once again collaborated with producer Dino Alden. Dark Deceiver finds the band experimenting with their already defined sound. The compositions are more technical than before. Alden took advantage of Salinas incredible vocal talents to apply some interesting and dramatic treatments, creating something very different from their previous recordings. This is without question the bands crowning moment.
WE ARE NOW ACCEPTING PREORDERS FOR ZERO HOUR "DARK DECEIVER". THE OFFICIAL STREET DATE IS APRIL 29TH. PLEASE DO NOT COMBINE PREORDERS WITH YOUR REGULAR ORDER AS IT WILL ONLY CAUSE DELAYS IN PROCESSING.
