In 1999, former Cynic bassist Sean Malone shocked the metal and progressive rock world with the debut release of his Gordian Knot project. Featuring a lineup of renowned musicians it blurred the distinction between rock and metal creating a defining statement for the genre. Three years in the making the follow up album, Emergent, pushes the envelope even further. Perhaps heavier and more complex it seamlessly blends rock, metal and fusion. Once again Malone has surrounded himself with a stellar cast of musicians, including Jason Gobel on guitar (Cynic), Bill Bruford on drums and percussion (King Crimson, Yes, Genesis), Steve Hackett on guitar (Genesis), Jim Matheos on guitar (Fates Warning), Sean Reinert on drums and percussion (Cynic), and Paul Masvidalon on guitar (Cynic). Instrumental Guitar (Electric (Heavy)/Progressive/Hard Rock), total running time, 49:51 - Gordian Knot @ iTunes!
