The Arret Zone

About Me

The Arret Zone: (The Ah-ret Zone) n.
1. A metallurgical term referring to the point at which a piece of metal's temperature reaches a place where its physical properties may be changed.
2. A place where something stops being what it was, and becomes something different.
3. The limitlessness of pure potential.
The Arret Zone is a six piece progressive metal band out of Warrensburg Missouri. Drawing on a vast resource of musical influences, The Arret Zone's sound is diverse and ever changing; things cease to be what they are and frequently become something new and different. We want to thank all of our friends and fans for their support and cant wait to come play a town near you sometime soon.
We proudly endorse the following companies and products:
Ibanez RG-7 Guitars, Conklin Groove Tools Basses, Ergo Electric Upright Basses, KC Strings Upright Basses, Mesa Boogie and Marshall Amplification, Line 6, Digitech, and Boss Effects Processors, Korg Keyboards, Shure Microphones, Yamaha Drums and Hardware, Sabian and Zildjian Cymbals, Tama Double Bass Pedals, Evans Drum Heads, D'adarrio and Dean Markley strings.
