Building off the organized chaos in the rhythm section, guitarist Matt Williams lays down the musical direction and depth that is CALBREA. In a scene full of iconic players, Williams is persistent at delving into complex rhythms and driving sections, while remaining focused ..s to give the songs their own individuality. Front man Rick Norris delivers crushing vocal intensity through his unique blend of aggressive screaming and melodic creativity.
