SCALE THE SUMMIT formed in 2005 while attending the Musicians' Institute in Los Angeles. The band relocated to Texas in 2006, where they recorded their first, self-released album. After signing with Prosthetic, they released "Carving Desert Canyons", which Revolver called, "a cinematic blast of intricately melodic fretwork and pummeling percussion," in 2009. 

 

The band, who received praise from Guitar World for their "tightly-woven guitar interplay, irregular time signatures and tasteful licks," has toured with the likes of PROTEST THE HERO, BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME, CYNIC, THE DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT and were handpicked by DREAM THEATER to participate in the 2009 installment of their famed "Progressive Nation" festival tour. SCALE THE SUMMIT has also been featured prominently in Guitar Player magazine, and has tracks available for the Rock Band video game through the Rock Band Network.

I saw these guys on the Prog Nation tour with Dream Theater, Big Elf and Zappa Plays Zappa. 

Scale The Summit was definitely my favorite of the three supporting acts (I'm considering DT as the headliner). They had tons of energy, the bass player was really into it. Great guitar work, and they played their instrumentals "as a band".... not just a long solos with others playing in the background.
If it's worth playing, it's worth playing loud!

The new album is much better than their previous work. Much more musical, melodic. Cross their last album with Exivious, add more melody...they boys are growing up.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

I got introduced to these guys (and got to meet them) on the ProgNation 2009 tour. Nice guys and good music. I enjoy both of the first two albums, but not as essentials... mostly as background music.

This new album is mostly more of the same, but is still really good.  And I agree with Negoba that it does add more and shows growth. So for that alone, hats off to the boys from Texas and if you're a fan, you won't be disappointed with this new release.
