Our Madness is a refinement of Reason

About Me

MySpace URL: http://myspace.com/systaticband

"....driven by powerful metal-influenced riffs and heavy percussive rythyms, Systatic blends their hard rock style with subtle melody for a fusion of havok and harmony. Comprised of former members of Calgary-based bands, Spire and Gnosis, Systatic brings an in your face attitude to every show that never fails to set the crowd in motion..."
All of us in systatic come from long histories of musical performance. Over the years we have all moved through countless musical projects, be they cover bands, concept projects, orchestral band etc. Our music is very much a reflection of these experiences and influences so you can never be quite sure what the next song will be. We have fused waltz with grunge/alternative in Autumn; jazz/swing with metal in Predictably Down and lists of hypnotic and blood-letting mosh music like Dreamless, Thirst and Waiting to Fall. We hope to see you all out there at our gigs over the next few months before we return to the studio.
