Re-release of the fourth studio album "Metronomicon" from 2009 by the Jazz Metal Band Counter-World Experience. Jazz-Metal par excellence - without ifs and buts! Since its foundation in 2001, Counter-World Experience has committed itself to the progressive pursuit of nothing less. Here, complex grooves in the Meshuggah-style meet harmonious Pat Metheny textures, interwoven with electronic sound fragments and filigree guitar work in the best Dream Theater-style. The three professional musicians Benjamin Schwenen (guitar. guitar-synth), Sebastian Hoffmann (bass) and Thorsten Harnitz (drums) presented their musical business card with the debut album "Always Home" and have already achieved their first successes in the progressive scene. With the following releases "Fraktal" (2005) and most recently "Leaving Lotus" (2007), the international press also took note and certified Counter-World Experience to celebrate technically accomplished and demanding progressive metal:"Leaving Lotus" is an excellent album that is only to be recommended for lovers of technical progressive metal "(Ragazzi)," Obligation to buy for all lovers of harder progressive discs with heart and soul "(Ragazzi).
