Albums / EPs

Flip Date Released: 3/17/2011   Tracks: 7 Sales: 6   Listens: 6 Percussionist extraordinaire K [Zeroth, Supercrusher] returns with his side project Kaliclysm, delivering an instrumental jazz experience on 'Flip'. Eschewing his trademark polyrhythmic pyrotechnics for more traditional jazz sensibility, K delivers steady jazz beats, highlighted with tasteful fills and only the occasional head-scratching foray into calculus percussion. Highlights are the title track and opener, the sinous 'A Slitherin' Mood', and his tribute to Dave Brubeck "Take 6(66)".

Trepanation [DVD] Date Released: 11/11/2009   Tracks: 9 Sales: 1   Listens: 1 K, the polyrhythmic master of Zeroth, Kaliclysm and Supercrusher, releases 'Trepanation' [DVD], a treasure trove for aspiring drummers. This instructional DVD provides incredible insight into two of Zeroth's most complex tracks with "dissections" of "Gyananankashu" ['Portals'] and "Supernova Canticle" ['Eclipse'], including drumless backing tracks for both. Additionally, K provides extensive exercises aimed at mastering polyrhytmic playing, and guides to kit selection and drumhead tuning.

Tapac Yuan Date Released: 9/24/2009   Tracks: 8 Sales: 6   Listens: 6 Zeroth's 2009 swing through South America clearly made a major impact on drummer K, as the latest effort from his side project Kaliclysm 'Tapac Yuan' [Golden Staff] is entirely built around regional/tribal music and themes. Recorded in local studios and employing local musicians to complement his apparently limitless percussive skills, K turns in an impressive set of performances, ranging from percussive drones to avante garde jazz to modern rock, all capturing the flavors of the region.

per-'ke-shen Date Released: 4/22/2009   Tracks: 8 Sales: 7   Listens: 7 Zeroth's drummer "K" has put together another album under his side project 'Kaliclysm'. 'per-'ke-shen' [phonetic spelling of "percussion"] is a collection of instrumental covers of some of the most demanding rock, metal and jazz drum-oriented tunes ever recorded. Once again, K enlists some of his Zeroth bandmates for support. The clear standout is the interpretation of Buddy Rich's "Channel One Suite", equally for the interpretation of the horn parts on guitar as well as K's inspired playing.

Kaliclysm Date Released: 4/10/2009   Tracks: 1 Sales: 5   Listens: 6 Drummer from prog-metal titans Zeroth, known only as "K" releases a side project that will go down as either a stroke of genius, or an example of rock star excess. The self-titled EP, "Kaliclysm", is a single 27-minute instrumental track ["Kali Is My Bitch"]; basically an extended drum solo, with washes of instrumentation (guest performances from other Zeroth members). K deftly shifts between time signatures, and there are moments where you'd swear he must have grown extra limbs.
