Chaos To Control finds the band utilizing the best elements of their influences - Symphony X, Fates Warning and Yngwie Malmsteen - to compose well-crafted songs combining excellent musicianship with memorable hooks and melodies

Info:
Magnitude 9 returns with their long awaited follow up to their amazing "Chaos To Control", entitled Reality In Focus. A fine successor to their debut, the album marks an improvement in the band's overall approach and sound. Having refined their skills and honed their songwriting, guitarist Rob Johnson and company have delivered a collection of melodic metal at its finest with progressive roots and neo-classical overtones that the fans embraced. More importantly they had not compromised their songs for the sake of technique or flashy playing but rather focused on keeping the music full of pounding melodies that are constantly interspersed between amazing instrumental passages. The new album also included a superb cover of the iron Maiden classic "Flight Of Icarus" upon which they had put their own stamp, making it sit quite comfortably between their own compositions.

Info:
Ohio native Rob Johnson is no stranger to the music scene. An established guitar player, with three solo albums to his credit, had generated quite a name for himself in the underground scene with his impressive style and technique. However, not content with just catering exclusively to the instrumental market, he set about putting a band together. And so in the spring of 1997, Magnitude 9 was born. A few years have passed and now Magnitude 9 have returned with a stellar new offering entitled Decoding The Soul. Co-produced by Michael Vescera, (who sang for Obsession, Loudness and Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force), this time the band took a heavier approach to their rhythms without compromising Johnson's shredding guitar solos. Decoding The Soul also introduces new bassist Ian Ringlar into the fold after original member Kevin Chown left to join the national pop star, Uncle Kracker's band.
