Extended info
Tetrafusion is an instrumental progressive metal/experimental band based out of
Shreveport, Louisiana. Tetrafusion was formed in October of 2006 when Gary
Tubbs, Mark Michell, and J.C. Bryant had a strong desire to form a small side
project trio playing jazz and slow jam music locally. During the first rehearsal
of this newly formed side project, the first riff written is what became the
intro riff for "Inertia". Prior to their formation, bassist Mark Michell was a
member of another local artist by the name of Altered State, an alternative rock
influenced trio with guitarist Paul Turner and drummer Brooks Tarkington, who
had also played guitar. Keeping in touch with Brooks long after Altered State
had disbanded, the two had tossed around the idea of adding a guitarist into
their side project. After sending the early demos of "Inertia" his way, Brooks
was quite impressed and offered to fulfill guitar duties to become the group's
official guitarist. Thus, Tetrafusion was formed. Becoming more innovative in
their music, the band had a change of mind and decided to become a progressive
metal/experimental band. They continued to write music in the months following,
played several local shows, and self-produced a low-quality demo until they were
able to finance professional recordings. A year later, they were finally ready
to record their newly written material, and tapped QueenSix Productions to
professionally record and produce their first full-length album "Absolute Zero",
an instrumental concept album depicting the birth, life, and death of the
universe. After the upcoming release of "Absolute Zero" in early 2009, the band
plans to incorporate vocals in future material to continue to develop an
original sound for their style.
