So on top of Son of Aurelius, Sleep Terror, the tech death project of Luke Jaeger, is working on new music too! The source comes from the man behind Amogh Symphony, who will be mixing the record. The post from Facebook is as follows:
Luke (Sleep Terror) is back in action with some new stuff. Stoked to mix this new excellent record. I am sure you guys will be blown away by his octopus finger chops.
I’m excited. Here’s a track from 2006′s Probing Tranquility:

If you haven’t guessed by the praise we’ve given Amogh Symphony‘s new album The Quantum Hack Code, it is an excellent album that we’d highly recommend for fans of progressive music and guitar virtuosity. I’ve been getting comments and emails asking when it’s going to finally be available. At long last, it is here!
You can purchase it here digitally for $8. Do yourself a favor and pick this up!

Mark Hawkins (Soul Cycle, Assimilated Mind Phase) and Vishal J. Singh (Amogh Symphony) are no strangers to collaboration. Mark Hawkins gets around like a guitar whore (he’s one of the classy brothel types, not some street walker!) and has worked with Vishal on a number of different songs. It was only a matter of time before the two had a project together.
I present to you: Robots Pulling Levers.
Mark tells me they hope to have an album out in 2011, which will perhaps feature a number of different guest musicians. This will no doubt be some killer shred.
Stay tuned!

Self-proclaimed Australian melo-death premier act Universum are streaming their new album Mortuus Machina in its entirey on Myspace! Check it out right here.
Just kidding. They’re streaming minute and a half long previews. Oh, there’s more. Check out this steaming pile of lies over on their website:
We are now streaming the album via our MySpace site for you all to check out! Enjoy!
Y’know, it’s a bit of a dick move to stream previews when you claim you’re streaming the whole album. Especially when it’s the 2nd to last album of 2010 I’m looking forward to (Amogh Symphony, anyone?). Especially when iTunes and Amazon keep rejecting my fucking credit card for no reason. ESPECIALLY WHEN CHRISTIAN ALVESTAM, LORD AND SAVIOR OF ALL THAT IS VOCAL, IS ON LIKE 3 TRACKS. But I suppose if you’re really interested in hearing samples long enough to illegal on the basis of teasing, you can listen to them on the link provided above.
Mortuus Machina is out now and I can’t listen to it. Fuck you, iTunes. Fuck you, Amazon.

Amogh Symphony‘s upcoming album The Quantum Hack Code is a definite killer. I reviewed it earlier this week and I stand by my claim of it being more impressive than Animals As Leaders‘ debut. I should probably stop comparing the two, as they are different beasts altogether, but I want to give you an idea of what to expect.
And now you do! Amogh Symphony has debuted a new song, “Osiris 1″ on Soundcloud. They have disabled embedding (BUT WHY?!?!), so you’ll have to just click through to hear it. It’s amazing!
There doesn’t seem to be a release date for it yet, but if you feel compelled enough to pre-order the album, you can do so right here. DO IT DO IT DO IT.

Vishal J. Singh has got to be one of the greater unsung guitar virtuosos of our day. I had never heard of him or his project Amogh Symphony until my friend Mark Hawkins started doing acoustic jazz songs with him (alongside Luke Jaeger of Sleep Terror and Hunab Ku fame). Through Mark, I eventually discovered Amogh Symphony, a project fusing progressive and technical metal with several styles of jazz to create something akin to, as Mark described to me, Animals As Leaders on meth. The description isn’t far off at all, as the India-based Amogh Symphony, is heavier and jazzier than Animals as Leaders.
