Fusion

Percussionist Nippy Noya (who plays on the album, so should know) says, "Rene Engel's Despite Opposition CD is food for the gods. Dynamic, explosive and overwhelming - last but not least, also for music-loving people." There are not many drummers releasing solo albums containing only their own compositions. And among those drummers, only a few manage to rise above the I-have-to-because-I'm-so-dammed-good-syndrome.

The amazing Chris Poland is back! OHM: has nothing to do with his Megadeth days - on their debut album OHM: brings you modern, heavy fusion like you never heard it before. Guitarist Poland is joined by Robertino Pagliari on bass and David Eagle on drums and percussives, and the trio lay out some massive sonic soundscapes that take advantage of Poland's formidable technique and compositional strengths.
