After headlining Prostehtics SXSW showcase last spring and gaining notoriety via their musics including in the ROCK BAND network, Scale the Summit spent much of 2010 writing and recording their third album, THE COLLECTIVE,. Produced, engineered and mixed by Mark Lewis and mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side, the album sees the band step up their game sonically while they continue to craft, expansive, atmospheric music that speaks volumes without saying a word. This isn't a wanky shred fest by guitar store nerds, though, for while these young virtuosos play with the skill of seasoned veterans, the group let's their songs breath and as a result, they resonate long after the final notes fade.
