Tau Zero - instrumental duo from the U.S.

Tau Zero is an instrumental duo consisting of Gabe Zentner and Kyle Sommer. It looks like Kyle is based in Washington state and Gabe in Massachusetts. Both Gabe and Kyle are guitarists, and it looks like they take care of the bass, keyboards (samples?) and the drum programming. The recording is big on groove and rhythm in the style of djent. Sometimes the recording comes across as a big rhythm section; however, there are soft and gentle melodies from the keyboards/synths/samples. The guitar melodies are the belle of the ball. Meditational, spacey or bluesy melodies are present throughout, with shredding and fast guitar present. The guitar work also shows a bit of a melod-ic death metal sound, but it is disguised with djent, groove and prog. All of which I am commenting here is from the 2020 debut album Event Horizon and in June of 2022 the second album The Monolith will be released. Tau Zero is for fans of instrumental albums. No vocals to distract you. It’s just you and the music.
