Crossing the Rubicon is a progressive instrumental band that fuses the intensity of metal with the fluidity of jazz and fusion. Founded by guitarist and composer Alejandro in Dayton, Ohio, the project began as a solo endeavor and has grown into a full ensemble defined by complex rhythms, soaring melodies, and the unmistakable voice of the saxophone within modern progressive soundscapes.

Since its early releases (Ascension, Bloom, Matter), the band has pushed boundaries with genre-bending compositions that combine the heaviness of Meshuggah, the harmonic sophistication of Plini, and the groove of Animals as Leaders. Along the way, Crossing the Rubicon has shared the stage with national acts such as Yngwie Malmsteen and earned recognition from publications including It Djents (now Everything Is Noise) and Prog Sphere.

After years of evolution, lineup changes, and experimentation, the group entered a new era in 2024 with a revitalized roster:

Alejandro – Guitar, founder, composition

Gabriel Coffing – Drums (Columbus, OH)

Madison Jones – Guitar (Washington State)

Adam Knox – Bass (Dayton, OH)

Jonathan Baldwin – Saxophone (Dayton, OH / Las Vegas, NV)

Together, this lineup is preparing the forthcoming concept album Knowledge (2025). The record represents both a reinvention and a culmination of the band’s journey, exploring themes of transformation and identity through a progressive metal lens while blending influences from deathcore, funk, avant-garde jazz, and beyond into a cohesive sonic narrative.

With dynamic compositions that shift between technical precision and melodic introspection, Crossing the Rubicon creates music that is both cerebral and visceral. On SoundCloud, listeners can explore the band’s evolving catalog, from early epics like Bloom to the psychedelic explorations of Metempsychosis and the powerful new direction that defines their current era.

Crossing the Rubicon is not only a band but an ongoing exploration of sound, story, and spirit.
