When Garuda first hatched, he was large enough to block out the sun. Even the gods were frightened. 

GARUDA was born to help me to not sit on songs and fix them and add things until they're 20 minutes long with 12 key changes. Although it took longer than I would have liked to mix and finish the tracks (3 months), they were written and recorded in a few days last December. They are short, repetitive and rhythmic. Usually droney with a middle eastern flair in the riffs. Though most of them stay in key, there are quite a few times changes. The titles tell the story of Garuda.
Influences: Indukti, deftones, Monster Magnet, The Tea Party, System of a Down, Dream Theater.
