This week's track is another prog riff laden atmospheric opus. The Omnific is an Australian trio of drums, bass and bass. That's right, two bass players who both rip. They play a style of prog/djent-ish metal and employ every kind of playing technique in a tasteful and appropriately dynamic fashion. I for one don't miss guitars with this band.
“The Lifeless Charm” is the third track 2019's The Mind's Eye EP. It opens with a synth pad part and then the shredding starts. The drummer is also a badass who slays the whole time while keeping a solid foundation for the basses to play with and off of each other. For five minutes the three musicians display their abilities to play fast, intricate, heavy, delicate, and with restraint when needed. This is a great song and balances well with the other songs on the record.

Danny began playing in local bands in Los Angeles while studying music, eventually landing at Berklee College of Music in 1998. Following his graduation in 2001 Danny returned home and continued his career as a recording and touring bassist, most notably working with former STP singer Scott Weiland.
Danny continues to stay active in the local scene and is a devoted father teaching his children about the music he loves.
