2010, Kyrbgrinder is the baby of Johanne James, best known as the drummer of prog-legends Threshold. Here, however, he goes down the Don Henley route and handles lead vocals alongside all the skin smashing. Joining Johanne to complete the Kyrbgrinder trio are new boy Tom Caris on guitars and Alberto ´Albi` Flaibani on bass. The sound is still ´crossover` in the extreme, but there is a new found maturity underpinning the music. Johanne and the boys tip their hats toward the funky hard rock of Living Colour, the characterful metal of Disturbed, the lyrics and anger of Green Day, the complex progressions of Threshold and more. The result is staggeringly good.
