Blotted Science is a multinational supergroup with a focus on Technical Death Metal, which was founded by guitarist Ron Jarzombek into being in 2004. The band has never once performed live in their lifetime.
History
Looking for suitable musicians for his project, pushed the living in Austin Watchtower guitarist Ron Jarzombek on bassist Alex Webster of the band Cannibal Corpse, after he had seen a video of the studio recordings of the band for the song Frantic Disembowelment. About the Forum his former band Spastic Ink did the contact, following which they met at a concert of the band in Austin. In Chris Adler from the band Lamb of God Jarzombek was an experienced drummer, whereupon Jarzombek Webster and thus began writing the first songs for an upcoming studio album. The finished compositions they sent then to eagle on, but he had problems putting the ideas of the other two. In addition, the large distance between the musicians made it difficult to work together, so that you decided to separate from Adler. In February 2006 Derek Roddy was introduced as the successor Adler's, with the band for six months worked.
After the separation of Roddy in August 2006, due to the fact that this change was written by Jarzombek and Webster drum parts too much to Jarzombek went looking for a new drummer and found it in Charlie Zeleny, which Jarzombek previously on a had seen concert with his band Behold ... The Arctopus. Together they recorded the missing drum tracks for the planned studio album, which should be published in early 2007. Mid-September, later than first assumed with The Machinations of Dementia, the debut album by the band on Jarzombek 's own music label EclecticElectric published. Afterwards, the band members devoted again other projects.
Late September 2010, Ron Jarzombek was back and announced that the band is currently working on a new publication. In the summer of 2008 would have Webster and he made the decision at a joint meeting to release a new CD. However, one would have chosen due to lack of time for the publication of Extended Plays. Furthermore, it was the coming out of Germany Hannes Grossmann, drummer for the band Obscura, introduced as new band member. The departure of Charlie Zeleny was justified that Hannes Grossmann would fit better by his experiences in various death metal bands to the band.
On 4 October 2011 the band released also on Jarzombek 's own label EclecticElectric their debut EP, The Animation of Entomology. The emergence of the individual songs based on various animal horror movies in which there are insects. The songs should as background music for such sound, each guitar riff or solo - a single animal should represent. Relevant examples Jarzombek delivered via the Internet portal YouTube, on which he published excerpts of the films King Kong and Swarmed in the connection with the music of Blotted Science. End of October, the band announced that it has negotiated a contract with the British label Basick Records, on which The Animation of Entomology was a month later also available in Europe.
In May 2013, the band released their debut album, The Machinations of Dementia and the EP The Animation of Entomology re-released as a record on antithetic Records, which were each limited to a few hundred.
Style
When composing songs Ron Jarzombek uses a simplified version of the twelve-tone technique, which originated around 1920 by the composer Arnold Schoenberg around. Jarzombek here a method used by the Dutch composer Peter Schat, which the circle of fifths introduced himself as a kind of clock in which each note is a full hour. By formation of clay - pairs whose pattern you have set previously, results in individual scales on which the guitar riffs in Jarzombek 's songs are based.
