With elements reminiscent of the dark beauty of Black Sabbath, the epic complexity of Rush, the artistic muscle of early Soundgarden and the flamboyant-yet-aggressive experimentation of Led Zeppelin, The Accident Experiment sounds more like a natural progression of such legendary hard rock than most of today
's over hyped and generic formula music. More musically adventurous than any of its members former projects, AeX shifts between complex and hauntingly simple riffs, combining heavy progressive mystique with classic rock attitude and melody. With an independently released EP under their belt and a recently released full-length album entitled United We Fear on Rock Ridge Music/Warner Bros., the band has already recorded enough material to prove its prolificacy and hint at their potential for timelessness. 

The substantial pedigree brought to AeX by its members past projects is evident in the quality and seasoned skills heard in the bands music. But, the members' history is more of a launch pad than a crutch. 

"We're all proud of what we've done in the past", states Curiel, who also serves as producer on the bands two albums. "I had some great times in P.O.D., and we put out some solid music that a lot of people dug. But in this band, everyone decided we wanted to throw out most of the rules that we had in our old bands and play how we've always wanted to play. I think you can hear the feeling of freedom in what we do, at our shows and on our recordings." 

Disillusioned pastors kids have been an ingredient in more than one hard rock bands recipe for creation. Not surprisingly, Stewarts poetic, poignant lyrics set to both emotive and hooky melodies touch on such issues as non-conformity, shattered illusions, and elements of control and abuse in religion and in relationships. Songs like "Mind Death Machine" and "Holy Magic Man" speak of breaking through the confines of sociological cells while Lost Kisses and "Sick Love Letter", the first single from UWF, evokes the tension and release of love and obsession. The combination of Stewart's dark and piercing vocals and Curiel's monster guitar riffs and Edge-meets-Page solos come to life perfectly atop DeLocht's larger-than-life bass work and the flash and finesse of Longoria's often-complicated/always-solid drum skills. 

Extensive musical interludes, hypnotic grooves and captivating hooks make AeX a diverse band with both accessibility and depth. With a significant amount of touring, recording and preliminary press, The Accident Experiment is gaining momentum and devoted fans both in their Southern California home base and around the country. 

"This is no fly-by-night project", says Stewart. "We're a band that's here to stay."
