Another Perfect Storm

ABOUT

Ben Draiman's and Raz Klinghoffer's new project is beauty that compliments the beast with clean emotionally-charged vocals soaring above often abrasive guitars laced with well-timed industrial electronics. Hook-heavy and visceral melodic alternative rock.

Following the success of his solo project released in 2012, which included world-wide radio rotation, tv spots, and extensive touring in the U.S. and Europe, Ben Draiman teamed up with veteran producer, Raz Klinghoffer in the summer of 2013 and began recording one of his most ambitious projects to date. Bringing his signature clean and emotionally charged vocals to Kilnghoffer's wall of epic guitar-based sound Draiman, younger brother of David Draiman of "Disturbed", departs significantly from his previous ballad piano-rich material. The album explores various themes in the interpersonal, existential, and even political realms combining elements from many genres including Industrial Electronica, Blues, Rock, and even touches of country. Diversity as well as magentic and highly melodic hooks are replete throughout the album, but what Draiman points to as the cornerstone of the entire project is the incredible chemistry between Klinghoffer and himself and his insistence on producing music not aimed at any single audience.

"The personal nature of my songwriting is something that at this stage distinguishes me from others. It all depends on the place from where the music comes from, and for me, it’s still utterly pure – I have no audience in mind and no market in mind. It’s a personal therapeutic experience for me and ultimately, I think that’s what people can relate to. You don’t need to be the best singer or piano player, but when you give something else, when you mean every word of what you sing, that can be even more important.”
