Blotted Science – The Machinations of Dementia (Color)

$55.80

‘The Machinations Of Dementia’ is the first and only full-length album by American supergroup Blotted Science. A tremendous instrumental display of talent and wild creativity, this album, originally released in 2007, united the songwriting talents of Watchtower guitarist Ray Jarzombek and Cannibal Corpse bassist Alex Webster, both very well anchored by former Lamb Of God drummer Chris Adler. As could be expected from this dream-like lineup, these sixteen tracks, set to the conceptual theme of mental disorders, constitute an unpredictable gem of a record, full of impossible rhythms and structures, and dazzling feats of technicality. “an album that will grab hold of you and keep your attention right down to the last few seconds” – Sputnik Music “a technically proficient, musically stimulating, and sometimes teeth-rattling affair” – Blabbermouth

Blotted Science – THE MACHINATIONS OF DEMENTIA (COLOR) is the first and only full-length from this American progressive metal supergroup, pressed on color vinyl through Alone Records, and it stands as one of the more demanding and rewarding listens in the technical metal space. The tracklist moves through Synaptic Plasticity, Laser Lobotomy, Brain Fingerprinting, Oscillation Cycles, and more, each track a statement of what the band could do technically without losing compositional coherence.

Blotted Science – THE MACHINATIONS OF DEMENTIA (COLOR): Technical Metal’s Supergroup Statement

Blotted Science brought together musicians from the technical and extreme metal world to make an album that operates at the limits of what the format can contain. The production manages something difficult, keeping the technical complexity readable while maintaining the weight and density that makes the record genuinely heavy rather than just complicated. Each track on this record demonstrates what happens when players with this level of technical facility decide to write actual songs rather than just display capability.

Why Alone Records Pressed This on Color Vinyl

Alone Records has a specific profile in the metal collector market, releasing limited physical editions of technically demanding records for listeners who want the physical object. The color vinyl pressing of Machinations of Dementia is aimed directly at that audience. Technical metal on color vinyl from a supergroup with this kind of underground credibility is a pressing that will be harder to find as the run sells through.

The Full-Length as Document

An album from a supergroup formation is always a particular kind of document. It represents what these specific musicians chose to make when freed from the constraints of their primary projects. For Blotted Science, that freedom produced something dense, specific, and entirely uncompromising. The color vinyl pressing is the physical version for collectors who take technical and progressive metal seriously and want their shelves to reflect that dedication. The running time across all tracks gives you the full picture of what this band built together.
