Having performed together for over eight years in a variety of well-known progressive metal acts,\u00a0ABNORMAL THOUGHT PATTERNSfuse angular riffs, intricate time signatures and intense solos, generally at a very\u00a0high velocity, constantly creating highly intense and invigorating song structures.\u00a0In order to complete the live sound, the trio recruited longtime friend and talented guitarist Richard Sharman; a student of Jasun&#8217;s for many years and a great addition to the group. Five of the EP&#8217;s tracks were mixed by Dino Alden (Marty Friedman, Zero Hour), and the other two by Matt LaPlant (Sikth, Nonpoint), with mastering duties handled by Alan Douches (Between The Buried and Me, The Dillinger Escape Plan) and\u00a0cover artwork by Erick &#8220;Wurm&#8221; Pollard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/earsplitpr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"atp_web\" src=\"http:\/\/www.earsplitcompound.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/atp_web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"448\" height=\"336\" \/><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/#%21\/pages\/Abnormal-Thought-Patterns\/160108597365964\" target=\"_blank\">ABNORMAL THOUGHT PATTERNS Facebook<br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/CynNormal-Lab-Recordings\/177487832338036\" target=\"_blank\">CYNNORMAL LAB RECORDINGS Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The blistering self-titled debut EP from technical progressive metal outfit\u00a0ABNORMAL THOUGHT PATTERNS\u00a0is now officially available!
