DEGREE ABSOLUTE was formed in the fall of 1999 by multi-instrumentalist AARON BELL. Aaron is a former music instructor who began to play the guitar over twenty years ago. He has been involved with various bands and studio projects over the years as a guitarist, bassist, and vocalist. DA strays from the path quite frequently, exploring worlds of jazz and ambient music, as well as doom, thrash, and technical metal. If it was possible to compare the music of DA to the music of other well-known bands, one could say that it is based somewhere between FATES WARNING's semi-progressive melodies and WATCHTOWER's technical playing skills. This fanatastic debut was self recorded by the band but mixing of the recording was performed by noted producer NEIL KERNON (QUEENSRŸCHE, NEVERMORE, SPIRAL ARCHITECT, KANSAS & CANNIBAL CORPSE) at SONIC RANCH in Texas.
