Vancouver based band MARTONE, performs some of the hottest and most precise instrumental music ever heard. Their unique brand of jazz-fusion / metal hybrid music has earned MARTONE worldwide respect and recognition!

The performance level of the entire band is above outstanding, and is slickly presented in two self produced albums. This all-instrumental power house was created by guitarist David Martone and can only be described as a progressive jazz-fusion, occasionally coloured with delicate jazz and acoustic guitar, and more often pumped with heavy dosage of distorted guitar and flying odd-time roller coaster rides.

Perhaps if Slayer and Return To Forever had a lovechild, MARTONE would be it? MARTONE is undoubtedly far more exciting, intense and musical than the average progressive bands. This band "is a must hear" for any progressive/fusion/metal fan, as it sets the standard for sheer precision, heaviness and excellence. This may be one of the most impressive instrumental group out there.
