You might have read in the last little bit that Primus drummer Tim Alexander recently underwent successful heart surgery and is on the road to recovery. Other than the success of Tim's operation being good news in and of itself, the whole story has the added bonus of shedding some light on one of Tim's less well known musical projects.
If you read anything about this and saw the name Escape the Cult, and didn't go find out what Escape the Cult is, boy did you miss out. It's just a little international supergroup featuring Alexander, Mike Wead from King Diamond, Matthieu Romarin from Uneven Structure, and Peter Shallmin from Kamlath. That's a lot of talent arrayed in one band, and I for one think you can hear every ounce of it.
Have a listen to first single "I'm Absolute" from forthcoming debut All You Want To for a taste of what I'm talking about. It's a mellow, funky little jam that showcases Shallmin's bass work with a killer low end tone. It's not especially "heavy" as such, but with a groove like this song's got it doesn't need to be.
