Instrumental rock/metal - celebrating music purely for the joy of it.

Ascension

An homage to Dolores O' Riordan and her beautiful music.

Zombie (Cranberries)

Something a bit different to say the least...playing the same things but not really.  Metal?? Funk?? Blues?? Ummmm???  Either way fun toe tapper.

W.T.A.F (What The Actual Funk)

I Am Ukraine (The Javelin Song)

This started life as a 2 chord track to jam over and morphed into well, a fairly happy place.

Rise

Where The Wild Things Are

Community (Combstead and Keystone Studios)

Through The Clouds II

A quick trip down pseudo jazz/blues lane.

8th Floor Please....

Straight ahead driving metal with a few small progressive components to it.
Inspired a bit by old school Metal Church.  
A bit of a "turn" in the solo section.

Also this is the song my son is using for his walkup song for his baseball team!!

Steel Cathedral

Track that came together in a very backward way but turned out to be fun.  Thanks to Combstead for his input on this as well!!

Undertow

Started out as a finger exercise and well sort of went sideways....

The Rhythm of Life

It made me want to move...nuff said. 

Thanks Ya'll!!

Movement in Place

A somewhat anthem-like piece, it was the clean parts that really drove this song out.

Blooming

Showing my 80's influences in this one, really fun to pull together.

Ebb & Flow (Remastered)

Let It Flow (Flash In A Pan)

My Peace

A small dip into a groove heavy "prog-like" off beat track!!  Enjoy

Leap Prog (remix)

This is a toast to all one-eyed pirate cats around the globe.  Godspeed and rest in peace, little Cooper.

Crissy's Song

Jim Robinson and Mark Butler are both Army veterans, and the founding guitarists of the ‘90’s metal band Spectre.   Today they are professionals who spend their limited free time collaborating on new music from their respective homes in the Midwest and the Lone Star State.  Keystone Studios is their online playground, an ideal virtual location to exchange their ideas and create inspiring and positive-vibe metal music.   No doom and gloom here - just high octane tunage.  They believe that life is too precious and too short to waste focusing on the negative.  Buckle up and enjoy the ride!
