THE DRIFT Live in Abu Dhabi 9th October 2015
James + Saxophone + Tech Metal?
A strange combination coming from the tools of a film composer, however last year James was graciously asked by his good friend Graham Pinney (Guitarist Sikth, Aliases) if he would join him on his latest album with his boundary busting tech metal band ALIASES.
Jumping at the challenge, and stepping away from score, also coming from a Professional Saxophonist background career, he dusted off his horn and got to it.
The album is released on April 15th through Basick Records and it is an intense record of pure technical adventure, plus James' Saxophone solo thrown in.
Enjoy!
