Formed
in the spring of 2005 from a longtime vision of two high school
classmates and friends, Random Turmoil is a Detroit rock band paving a
musical path all it’s own. Joe Szabelski (vocals, guitar), Ryan
McArthur (bass) and Ryan Guimond (drums) have embraced their
roots of thrash and grunge to form a uniquely heavy yet melodic, riff
driven sound.
Vocally, Szabelski capitalizes on pent up rage and
takes listeners through a roller coaster of emotions to deliver a range
as smooth and broad as Chris Cornell, to the snarls of Dave Mustaine.
McArthur,
initially the lead guitarist, moved to bass in late 2007 to fill a
noticeable void in the sound. Even on a new instrument his
aggressive style is still evident. Together Szabelski and McArthur combine to
blanket the songs with heavy, chunky rhythms; a staple of the
Random Turmoil sound.
Ryan Guimond arrived on board in the summer of
’05 and adds a thick wall of quick, yet aggressively pulsating drum
beats. With a background of jazz and a laundry list of
multi-faceted influences from many musical genres, Guimond has a sound
all his own that adds flavor to all of Random Turmoil’s songs.
Lyrically cynical, satirical, witty, at times
politically charged and always emotional; Random Turmoil’s thought
provoking words add to their style. It is the name Random Turmoil
that represents what life is all about in this world, and it sums up the
music perfectly: angry, melancholy, sarcastic, tumultuous - with Random
Turmoil.
