Description:
Cleric is a group of mildly psychopathic musicians who are devoted to bringing their uncompromised visions of music and expression to the very world they hope to destroy. Evolving out of the collapse of the band ‘3rd Rail’ in 2002 and trading two-guitar metal for a new approach, Cleric went on to appear on the Vans Warped Tour in 2003 and 2004 after releasing the 4-song EP ‘The Underling’ to critical acclaim.
Still striving for more complete modes of musical dynamics, long time musical co-conspirator James Lynch joined the band in place of bassist Chris Weindel in 2006 and the modern Cleric was born. Since then, Cleric has played with bands Dysrythmia, So Is The Tongue, Consider the Source, and many more on the emerging East coast extreme music scene, and has released a self-produced CD single packaged beautifully in a container of the band’s own design that sold out quickly to fans across the world.
The unique sound that fuses a multitude of personal influences into Cleric’s spiraling musical brutality has been compared to that of Mr. Bungle, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Meshuggah, and many more, while still exhibiting something entirely unique born of the bands symbiotic composition style. Currently, Cleric is releasing a 12” single, while working hard recording tracks for a full-length album to be finished by early 2008. All recent recordings have been completed with engineer extraordinaire Colin Marston (Behold… the Arctopus, Byla).
From their early meetings in jazz ensembles and pit orchestras, Cleric now takes the dynamic they have refined in privacy over the last six years and detonates it onto the current music public with devastating results.
