Alex Rudinger is one of those drummers that managed to shock and awe before being with any big time bands. I personally discovered him through his Youtube channel of dead on, seemingly effortless drum covers back when Ordinance was his main project. I became a fan of his work in about 10 seconds...
I remember when The HAARP Machine debut came out last year. It was well hyped but when I discovered Alex Rudinger was the drummer, my interest tripled. Great album full of great musicianship. He left the band since...
...And he wound up in The Faceless. Talk about making big leaps. This is the kind of prestigious band worthy of Alex's skill. Looking forward to what the future brings.
Speaking of his extreme skill, I've assorted just a few of his plentiful play throughs for all the drum heads out there to enjoy. So get on it!
The man. The myth. The genius. Evan Brewer of The Faceless (ex-Animosity, Reflux) is now officially streaming his latest solo album on Youtube! After a good several listens, I can say this is most definitely a musical experience worth checking out.
Moving on from the purely bass approach of his first solo album "Alone", "Your Itinerary" brings a rich variety to every track merging several instruments and styles. There will be moments that melt your brain with pleasure and others that will leave you thinking "what the hell just passed through my ears?" Either way, this one is a winner. Listen to DAT BASS below.

Evan Brewer has been up to some serious kickassery throughout his career. Currently the bassist of The Faceless, he's also slapped in Animosity and Reflux (with Tosin Abasi and Sumerian Records owner Ash Avildsen). They don't call him a bass master for nothing (no fish included).
For those of you who don't know, he also has an incredible bass-based solo project. This first album "Alone" (2011) was written with bass as the only live instrument. Great record.
Now he's following it up with a fusion of sound, throwing in drums, keyboards, guitar, and a few surprises. His new album "Your Itinerary" is slated to do some good damage on July 16th via Sumerian Records. So far he's released a teaser, some updates, and just recently a brand new single called "Microscopic Scale" in support of this. All of the above are awesome. Give a listen below.
In 2011 Evan Brewer (The Faceless) toured alongside Animals
as Leaders in support of his first solo album, “Alone.” “Alone” was an
amazing collection of tunes featuring strictly bass guitar.
Evan Brewer is once again working through Sumerian Records to release a bass guitar focused album. Although, the second time around Brewer is including other flavors besides bass such as keyboards, Navene Koperweis on drums and a boosted production value. Here is an album teaser to give a taste of these new flavors. If a teaser can be this mesmerizing…well…Satan only knows how enthralling the final product will be. This is next level garden-fresh music.
Evan Brewer (The Faceless) has been hard at work on his second full length solo bass project! In 2011 Evan Brewer toured alongside Animals as Leaders in support of his first solo album, “Alone.” “Alone” was an amazing collection of tunes featuring strictly bass guitar.
Brewer’s second go around is excitingly branching into new territory with inclusion of keyboards aaand you guessed it! Navene Koperweis! On a few drum trackings and mixing. Here is some inspiring snippets of a bass/keyboard collaboration. Sounding amazing!
There's a new video from Evan Brewer showcasing the new music he's been working on. Some serious slappeh de bass. If you couldn't tell from the previous statement, Evan Brewer is currently writing his second full length solo album. In a purely instrumental, virtuosic fashion Evan Brewer will most likely blow people's minds to pieces again. The guy is a true talent. Watch him do what he does best below and listen to some tracks from his debut solo album "Alone".
Evan Brewer of The Faceless (ex-Animosity, Reflux) released a solo album last year featuring one main instrument, the bass guitar. For those who don't know, Evan Brewer is a bass virtuoso. In other words, a master of slappeh de bass. "Alone" is an insanely awesome and experimental record. Anyone who appreciates musicianship and creativity should really give it a listen. Evan just released a music video for the track "Vertigo" over a year later in support of that album. This seems to be a trend among Sumerian's solo acts as Francesco Artusato also released a video well after his album's release date. Anyways, the video is great and really goes with the theme of the album. The song feels like entering an elevator... with a an ultra talented metal bassist. Watch the video for "Vertigo" below and check out the other videos of Evan Brewer being a boss. Especially the one with him playing the two bass guitars at once.
Feast your eyes on skill as these talented musicians bring the rumble from down under.
