Jason Rubenstein - New Metal From Old Boxes

Hailing from San Francisco, multi-instrumentalist and composer Jason Rubenstein has put out his sixth studio release on May 30th. An album called New Metal From Old Boxes brings twelve compositions of instrumental, heavily influenced soundtrack progressive metal that captures the composer's craftsmanship and maturity. Described as Rubenstein's return to his progressive rock roots, New Metal From Old Boxes embraces both old and futuristic, with a steady note of the real world. Written, performed and produced by Rubenstein, and mixed by Grammy Award-winning producer and engineer Niko Bolas (Neil Young), New Metal From Old Boxes features classic, loud rock production and a movie-like tension-filled soundtrack vibe.

"Imagine if King Crimson, ELP, NIN, Wendy Carlos and Philip Glass got together to score the soundtrack for a heist movie, " Rubenstein says about the album.

Jason Rubenstein's music has been heard on NPR, NBC Television and Soma.fm. He contributed score for the film Replicant, directed by Ringo Lam and starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Michael Rooker. His sound design was used in a popular ABC's TV series Lost. In 2000, Rubenstein was featured in an EQ magazine article titled Adventures in Sound Design.
