C-187, the new band featuring former PESTILENCE mainman Patrick Mameli (guitar) alongside Tony Choy (bass; ATHEIST; ex-CYNIC), Sean Reinert (drums; CYNIC, ex-DEATH) and Tony Jelencovich (vocals; M.A.N, ex-TRANSPORT LEAGUE, MNEMIC), has entered the studio to begin recording its debut album for a summer release via Holland's Mascot Records. The group has issued the following update on the recording process:

"Sean Reinert finished the drum tracks a couple of days ago. The drumming will set a new standard in (heavy fusion). The recording is done at the Space Lab Studios in Oedt/Moers, near Düsseldorf in Germany, which is fxxxing in the middle of nowhere! The songs now sound so amazing that it will be difficult to describe the style. Tony Choy has also done eight tracks of killer bass playing. It sounds thick and it has a crazy fxxxing groove!.. This is going to be sick, sick as hell. After that it's up to Patrick Mameli and Tony J.J. to take this project to the next level."

C-187 will tentatively hit the road in the fall. More information will be made available soon.


Patrick Mameli wrote:"After the Pestilence adventure way back in the Eighties and Nineties, it became clear to me that I had to change direction. Musically that is! Being a huge Allan Holdsworth fan also had a downside. Trying to combine metal and jazz turned out to be a disappointment both for fans and the band. Also realizing that it would be nearly impossible to reach such levels of skills making metalmusic made me quit playing guitar for more than seven years. Now, lightyears later, I'm back with a new found love for the guitar instrument and would love to share these musical ideas with music lovers all over the world. Recently I started my new project C-187. I will not discuss the style because words are not enough to describe it. Let your ears and brain be the judge. Certainly you will hear Holdsworth in there somewhere ('coz he is the man!!!) but also some heavy guitar riffing and (gangstametal) fusion hiphop beats, making this style fresh and new."


Mameli, Choy, Reinert *wipes drool* this sounds fucking awesome. Anybody?

If Sean Reinert is a part of this it has potential, but "heavy guitar riffing and (gangstametal) fusion hiphop beats" sounds...um...stupid?

Yeah, Reinert and Choy are the jewels here, Cynic, Atheist, Death - early nineties Florida tech-metal mmmmmm ...
The guy on the left is Mameli, he apparently listens to gangsta rap, but the album will sound alot more fusion than gangsta. I sincerely hope.
How's this guy from Mnemic as a vocalist?

You, young pink bubble, are kidding, right? Sean Reinert was the drummer on Death's 1991 (yes, you were 5 years old) release Human and Cynic's 1993 release Focus, Tony Choy was the bassist for Cynic until 1991, the same year he recorded for Pestilence's Testimony of the Ancients (Patrick Mameli's main band) and then joined Atheist for their 1993 release Elements. The albums I mentioned are all a must have for every serious metal fan, because they absolutely PWN! What an era! Would you believe that the techno revolution was in full swing then? :lol:

It's okay Biert, I didn't know any of the guys either, but when I saw what they had on their resumes... Man, I'm stoked to hear this.

Focus, in my opinion at least, is one of the greatest albums of all time.
