ARZ is a Portland-based prog rock duo that blends elements of metal,
classical, and world music into sonic tales embodying literary and
spiritual themes. They sound like a cross between Yes, Rush, and
Emerson Lake & Palmer, and weave guitar textures of hard-edged
distortion, classical fingerstyle technique, crystalline acoustic,
powerful rock vocals, layered against classic percussion sounds and
thumping double bass beats. They're fusing the great music from the
past: 70s prog rock, jazz, classical, and world music using the
technology of today. The grandness of the sound created by two people
is made possible by the use of technology to allow the drummer to play
orchestral percussion and keyboards along with drums, and allowing the
guitarist to play other instruments through the use of a MIDI
controller.
