Jack Ketch

After only three years Sacramento, CA based metal band Jack Ketch has managed to already release one demo and two full length albums. Their debut album In Articulo Mortis hitting the masses in the Fall of 2009 then following it up with a reinvented sound in their late 2010 release entitled Bringers Of The Dawn. Since the first release Jack Ketch has been working endlessly on perfecting their new progressive sound. Influenced by bands such as Dream Theater, Opeth and Between The Buried And Me, they are taking the crushing riffs that brought them to the top of the Northern California metal scene and adding a more matured melodic feel. Pairing this along side with new levels of technicality and an always energetic live performance, Jack Ketch is a force to be reckoned with in the progressive metal scene. "While they may be best described as a 'progressive-metal' band, the technical and complex approach found in their music is a means for exploring sonic and narrative landscapes rather than being an end initself." - Submerge Magazine
