Biography:
Born in the sixties, Maarten has been a music lover since the early days of Queen. At the age of 16 he picked up his first guitar and learned playing by practising "Unleashed in the East", "Rainbow on stage" and "Strangers in the night". Bored with the blues he started listening to fusion and progrock, exploring his natural instinct for odd-time signatures and multi-timbral chord progressions.
After a time off from music when he was living in the Middle East area, he followed courses that  explained what he has always been doing instinctively. By that time he threw off the constraints that he was burdened with while growing up and he considered himself good enough to play for an audience. Being very flexible, that differs from sheer progressive metal as he did with Synergy Protocol, up to all sorts of dance music, but also with 70'ies and 80'ies cover bands.
Nowadays his trademark is his ease of playing and a very distinctive sound, more than being a virtuoso per se.

Writing music, arranging and playing is what keeps the man going. All over this page there are examples of his music that he is actually very proud of. Not the best singer ever, not the best guitarist ever, not the best recordings ever, but a wide diversity of styles with plenty of detail for nice melodies, lots of backing vocals and some proper guitar stuff.

Synergy Protocol: The unity in a set of regulations.
 
Yes, dear readers, we are talking about yet another Dutch female fronted metal band. But… this time we are talking about a truely progressive metal band with an 80’ies twist. Unlike so many other female fronted bands these days, Synergy Protocol first and foremost affiliates with bands like Dream Theater, Symphony X, Queensrÿche, Opeth and Ayreon.
 
So how is that progressive?
Well, the music contains a lot of stuff that makes it more complicated than absolutely necessary, like many, many, many signature changes, vocal harmonies and enchanting melodies. We don’t really know what is progressive about that, but that is how they call it anyway. The definition of metal is a lot easier: the distorted guitars are usually loud!
The 80’ies twist comes from early influences like Iron Maiden, Queen, Toto, Metallica and Rush.
This is what clearly distinguishes the band from others.
 
During the first 18 months of their existence the vocals were taken care of by Laura Guldemond. After her sudden departure the band is currently getting back to speed with their new and amazingly talented new vocalist, Laura Martínez, who has made her first public appearance with Synergy Protocol at Occultfest on September 4th, 2015 in Hoogeveen.
As always she will be supported by one of the biggest Dutch talents on drums: Patrick van Mourik; his double kick will make your earplugs melt. Mark Roelofs plays the guitar and takes care of the high pitch in the vocal harmonies. Maarten “Big M” Heeringa is the second guitarist / backing vocalist and together with Wim Smits (bass, ex-Jewel) brings in the experience.
 
With their first singer Synergy Protocol released their first demo in February 2014 and has performed over 40 shows all over the Netherlands, amongst others as a support for Stream of Passion and Vulture Industries on the main stages of De Boerderij and P60. They always manage to leave the audience with a smile on their face, due the humourous and unforgettable live-performance, which reputation is spreading fast understandibly.
 
The first half of 2016 was mainly spent recording the first full-length, and maybe even more, CD. The CD is scheduled to be released shortly after summer 2016. Plans are to accompany this with an extensive tour abroad.
 
Meanwhile they keep striving for entertaining as many people as possible all over the world, whether it is at festivals, clubshows or support slots.
 
Hence: Synergy Protocol!
