The Physics House Band light the taper on powder-keg track "Obidant"

The Physics House Band cram a million ideas into less than 150 seconds on mayhem-fuelled brainmelter "Obidant".
Jazz, folk, techno, metal, and punk congeal with rocks hard, psych, math, art, and prog. for a psychotic boss battle of a tune that tears your soul asunder. It's like The Mars Volta if they weren't so damn restrained all the time - need a pick-me-up? This is better than coffee.
The track is the latest preview of upcoming project Mercury Fountain.
