Biography

KINETIK is a Californian technical groove metal band that pushes the boundaries of time and space in the metal genre. Creating riffs and tempos that infect the mind, KINETIK creates a sound of unique metal symphony. They have been described as a cross between [BAND]Meshuggah[/BAND] and Animals As Leaders.

KINETIK's origins can be traced to the late spring of 2007, when drummer Andrew Bailey connected with guitarist Chris Lee. Their early jam sessions began the technical metal sound that is completely KINETIK. Recruiting bassist Eric Tampier, a jazz bassist, further molded and refined the KINETIK sound. Late in the summer of 2007, Robert Anderson added his distinguishing voice to the band, and established KINETIK as an intense force in the San Francisco Bay Area metal scene.

KINETIK debuted their first single "Approaching Infinity" in late 2009, which later was released on their EP, Stoppage Time in 2010. KINETIK went back in the studio in August of 2012 to record their first full-length album at Castle Ultimate Studios with Zack Orhen (All Shall Perish, Warbringer, Decrepit Birth, and Suffocation). The new album was released worldwide, April 16th, 2013, and the band will follow with a strong touring schedule to support the new album, Heavier Elements.

KINETIK has just completed the Back From The Dead Tour with Casket Of Cassandra and Betrayed By Weakness in August 2013, after the Spring Meltdown Festival. KINETIK is planning a tour that will include South By Southwest shows in March 2014, as well as a full US Tour in Summer 2014.
