Abject Tomorrow

0 - Default Title
Description
The Vicious Head Society, the brainchild of Irish guitar virtuoso Graham Keane. Having initially started as a pet project around 2010 after * to the Ireland from music school in the UK, Keane was tutoring aspiring musicians when he decided to start writing original material purely as a self-gratifying project. He figured that living in a remote area of Ireland with not many musicians interested in his style of music, metal, hard rock and prog, he would be best to forge ahead alone. As with many creative types Keane had a very laid back attitude about the whole thing and on many occasions just sat there noodling on his guitar while life passed him by. It wasn't until his wife's cancer diagnosis in 2013 that he started to take things a bit more seriously. The shock of realising his own mortality threw Keane into action. As with most progressive records 'Abject Tomorrow' is no different in the sense that it is a concept album. The story is based in a dystopian future in which all humans are required to have emotion inhibiting implants implanted from birth. One man's implant fails and it chronicles his journey of discovery and reconnection with his humanity. Musically, it draws from a huge range of influences; from classic prog acts that influenced Keane growing up, such as Yes, Genesis, ELP and Rush to metal acts such as Death, Meshuggah and Megadeth. The album also features guest musicians including Kevin Talley (Suffocation), Klemen Markelj (Obidil), Pat Byrne and Dream Theater keyboardist Derek Sherinian.
