STATE OF
CRIME AND SCIENCE

Since 2021, Marc has been one of the band’s two guitarists, bringing progressive detail, weight and atmosphere to its alternative metal sound.

Live / Performance

Where control meets energy.

Music is built in the details—the weight of a riff, the contour of a melody, and the space between them.

The tools behind
the sound.
