supports: A Familiar Path is the third chapter of At War With Self , the music project led by multi-instrumentalist and composer Glenn Snelwar . It is a return to Snelwar 's roots as a musician that maintains the concept of the project changing for each release . The original concept in which Snelwar combined classical guitars into progressive and thrash metal has been re-visited and fully realized with A Familiar Path . The new incarnation of At War With Self features Manfred Dikkers , who joins Snelwar again from the Acts of God sessions on drums and percussion . The tracks on A Familiar Path are `` the heaviest , most aggressive and accurate version of what I 've had in mind for combining metal and progressive influences with classical guitars '' says Snelwar . Instrumental tracks such as a hybrid half - classical , half - metal rendition of a Heitor Villa - Lobos guitar study , the Slayer - meets - King Crimson aggression of Concrete and Poison and Diseased State , a new rendering of Reflections originally featured on the debut Gordian Knot disc and the guitar shred of The Ether Trail , are balanced with the vocally - centered title track and Ourselves . A Familiar Path is accompanied with artwork that completes the emotion and intensity inspired by the 42 minutes on the disc . Manfred Dikkers (born August 31, 1971 in Didam) is a drummer from the Netherlands. He has been involved in several recording projects, mainly over the internet. Musical collaborations include artists Alan Goldstein (bassist for Florida-based band Aghora), Tymon Kruidenier (guitarist for Exivious and ex-member of Cynic), Grega Habic (guitar maestro from Slovenia), Santiago Dobles (Aghora) and Glenn Snelwar (At War With Self) with whom he collaborated on two albums. Currently besides session work, he also plays in Bigband Nuenen. At War With Self is the project conceived by multi-instrumentalist Glenn Snelwar, best known as one of the guitarists on the Gordian Knot debut album which featured members of Cynic, Watchtower, King Crimson and Dream Theater. Dream Theater is an American progressive metal band formed in 1985 under the name Majesty by John Petrucci, John Myung, and Mike Portnoy while they attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. They subsequently dropped out of their studies to concentrate further on the band that would ultimately become Dream Theater. Though a number of lineup changes followed, the three original members remained together along with James LaBrie and Jordan Rudess until September 8, 2010, when Portnoy left the band. In October 2010, the band held auditions for a drummer to replace Portnoy. Mike Mangini was announced as the new permanent drummer on April 29, 2011. Didam is a town in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is located in the municipality of Montferland, about 18 km east of Arnhem. King Crimson are an English rock band formed in London in 1968.
