a progressive metal band whose style draws from progressive rock, jazz fusion, funk, and electronica. Drummer Matt Garstka has called the band's style "metal fusion". They are a prominent band within the djent scene. The band is notable for its absence of a bass player, who is "replaced" by two eight-string guitarists. Band members Abasi and Reyes are also members of the supergroup TRAM, alongside former Mars Volta wind instrumentalist Adrián Terrazas-González and Suicidal Tendencies drummer Eric Moore. Reyes also has his own side-project, Mestis.
