Musically wise beyond their years, the Houston-based Scale The Summit has
accomplished things in four short years that many veteran acts still dream of
achieving. After self-releasing their acclaimed debut album in 2007, the
instrumental progressive hard rock quartet signed with Prosthetic Records
before issuing their sophomore effort, 2009′s “Carving Desert
Canyons.”
After headlining Prosthetic’s SXSW showcase and gaining notoriety via their music’s inclusion in the Rock Band Network, Scale The Summit spent much of 2010 writing and recording their third album, “The Collective.” Produced, engineered and mixed by Mark Lewis (All That Remains, Trivium, DevilDriver), and mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side (Baroness, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Hatebreed), the album sees the band step up their game sonically while continuing to craft evocative, expansive, atmospheric music that speaks volumes without saying a word. These young virtuosos play with the skill of seasoned veterans, the group lets their songs breathe, the end result, they resonate long after the final notes fade.
