Passing of band friend

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to Augusto Garcia Gonzalez, PhD: Professor, particle physicist, coffee drinker and role model to many aspiring students and friends alike. From everyone in the band, our thoughts go out to his adorable wife, his three sons: Augusto, Enrique, Pablo and all his grandchildren.

Sonus Umbra at Myspace

After all, the trekkies were right with all their banter of "resistance is futile", and we have joined the Myspace revolution. Visit the Sonus Umbra page in MySapce, drop on by, leave us a message, tell us what you think. What's your mood today?

Gluttons for Punishment?

Yes indeed! Work on our fifth studio album has begun; the behemoth stirs from slumber at last, wiggling its toes, sniffing the air. We're busy writing, exchanging demos, thinking hard and tossing around ideas at amazing, glacial speeds. When will this new opus make itself available to sanitize the airwaves and validate your meaningless existance? Who knows? Patinece, grasshoppers, patience... Among a myriad possible working titles, "Hostile Indifference", "Queef with Beef" and "Three Finger Stew" are the current fore-runners, but that might change by the time you read this. After all, this is prog, right? So maybe in the interest of honesty it should be called "Songs in the Key of Pain"...

"Digging For Zeros" available through GreatIndie.com

"Digging For Zeros"

The reviews for Digging For Zeros have been extremely positive, but the best by far have been all the kind comments that we have received from many of you who bought the album and support our music.

In spite of a key member's absence from the album, we hope that you will be happily surprised by the end results. Read more about the changes on the band members in our band section.
