Scientist draw heavily from the Windy City's long-running tradition of experimental metal. The band members themselves describe their sound as "architectural metal." Were listeners to ponder this description alongside the band's sound, they would imagine twisted beams, exposed glass diagonals, and post-apocalyptic concrete blocks with a decaying skyline and crimson horizon in the distance. If Scientist's sound is architectural, it is doubtless an experimental edifice. With their second full-length, '10100II00101', the adventurousness the band displayed on their debut album has now gone thoroughly and beautifully haywire adding guest vocalists to the mix venturing away from their mostly instrumental past.

'10100II00101' will be released on CD and digitally via the band's official BandCamp page on December 11th, 2015 with a double LP via Hell Comes Home Records to be released at a later date. Track teasers to be unveiled in the coming days.
