TERROR SYNDROME Track Featuring ALEX SKOLNICK, TREVOR DUNN Posted Online

August 25, 2008

TERROR SYNDROME, the Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada-based band featuring THE DEVIN TOWNSEND BAND drummer Ryan Van Poederooyen, has uploaded the song"Rusty Trombone" featuring guest appearances by Alex Skolnick (TESTAMENT),Trevor Dunn (MR. BUNGLE, FANTOMAS).

Commanted Ryan: "This is another instrumental song I wrote with Dave Young [TERROR SYNDROME guitarist]. The song itself is twisted and progressive with a tinge of heaviness. I didn't want to write an album that was straight out metal the whole way through. I wanted an album that had diversity and some cool musicianship with great players. 'Rusty Trombone' delivers in every way! Alex Skolnick and Trevor Dunn are un-fucking-believable on this song. Trevor's bass playing is exactly what I pictured it to be... ultra-creative, tasteful and plainly awesome!!!! This song was written with Trevor in mind. He informed me that he used his Alembic five-string bass from his MR. BUNGLE days when he recorded his part, which I thought was pretty fucking cool. Alex Skolnick's guest appearance is completely sick as well. The mid guitar solo section was written heavier for Alex, so he could shred his metal roots and the very end of the song Alex contributes an awesome bebop jazz solo..... yes, jazz solo!!! Alex has been playing jazz for many, many years and I wanted him to show off his jazz side in the same song. Like I said, this song is twisted. Overall 'Rusty Trombone' delivered in every way I pictured it to. It's diverse, twisted, creative and tasteful with some heaviness."
