Track Picks: “Surrender,” “Speak For Me,” “Just Like You”
Lowdown: Nine tracks take you through a harrowing pillage of J. Syntax’s baritone distorted lyrical philosophy to a nonstop orchestrated sythenisized backdrop that leads you toward band member’s M. Parker “Rune,” RE:JECt, Black and Shaman’s dark foreign land. This uninhabited territory vibes like Gary Numan, styles like Bile and lurks like Type-O-Negative with a Skinny Puppy and The Jesus And Mary Chain psychocandy attitude. The hieroglyphic journey also includes five electrocuting bonus tracks with original mixes by Oberlin, Ohio’s ex-PIG, Crossbreed and current Dope drummer Angel. You can never go wrong with original industrial and shattering vocals. Do as Combichrist commands: “Now shut up and swallow!”

This cd is exceptional. I love your music live, but when I can't make the show, the cd gives me the feeling that I am there. Keep writing, keep rocking, I will continue my loyal support. - Jason - fan review on cdbaby.com

Bio
Mystic Syntax have been together playing shows for a little over 3 years now but the idea and concept of Mystic Syntax has been shaping over the last decade. Singer/songwriter J Syntax had been writing material for Mystic Syntax for almost 10 years before he decided to search for musicians to take this project to the next level. It was then that J found RE:JECt through a local musicians classified ad post and the two of them took the project and hit the ground running. RE:JECt fliped after hearing this music for the first time. Immediately he gathered some fellow musicians and booked the bands very first live show, opening for Dope at the legendary Alrosa Villa. The show was a sellout and the crowd loved Mystic Syntax right off the bat.
Since then the band have undergone numerous lineup changes to fill in gaps in their stage show. The entire band is made up of multi-talented musicians who can play most any instrument they choose. J started as the guitarist and moved to vocals. RE:JECt started as the vocalist, then moved to drums, then moved once again to keys as needed. Rune came into the band during the summer of '05 and his unique imagry and style of playing instantly landed him a perminant gig in the band. Shaman came into being the drummer almost by accident while filling in temporarily on the drums when needed for live shows. As more and more performances came and went it became aparent that Shaman wasnt going anywhere. His inclusion became official during the summer of '07. It was also in the summer of '07 that Mystic Syntax finaly found the 5th member of the band. From the begining Mystic Syntax was conceived to be a 5 man band. When Black came into audtion we knew right away we had finaly found our man. Within minutes we knew he would fit right in. He nailed the look, sound, and feel of what we were trying to create. With the new 5-man lineup Mystic Syntax are a forced to be reckoned with.
On tour we bring much more than the standard t-shirt and jeans live set. We bring over $1,000 of lights and effects to dominate the stage. Mystic Syntax is more than its music... its an experience.
Mystic Syntax shared the stage with such national acts as the Beautiful Creatures and the Genitorturers. As Mystic Syntax continues to play outside of their hometown their fanbase grows. Every city they play they are a huge hit. With half of Ohio in their grasp they continue to push outward into bordering states and beyond.
In 2005 Mystic Syntax as was asked to submit music for the independant film "Version Two" by Marc Lee Curallo. The Mystic Syntax track "I am god" plays during the movies opening credits.
