“Capturing the essence of Hemispheres-era Rush, the raw power of Vulgar Display of Power-era Pantera, the virtuoso brilliance of Randy Rhoads, and the sonic innovation of Frank Zappa. my new single ‘Abnormify’ utilizes my own scales and does not follow conventional music theory.” – Brent Barker

“Abnormify” is the second Progressive Metal instrumental single featuring Ken Mary (Flotsam and Jetsam, Alice Cooper, Impelliterri, Accept) on Drums and Pete Griffin (Steve Vai, Zakk Wylde, Yngwie Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert) on Bass to be released.
