Chaos Theory fuses progressive rock stylings with contemporary classical sophistication.  It is as precise and mathematical as it is primal and visceral, paying homage to a motley crew of musical influences, including Beethoven, Metallica, Shostakovich, Rush, Stravinsky, Frank Zappa, Anton Webern, and Steve Vai.
