The debut album from House of Thumbs, Crossing the Rubicon.
Recorded, mixed and mastered with the help of Ren Reich (Reich Studios), Crossing the Rubicon is an all-metal concept album that paints violent imagery and lyrics atop a backdrop of super-heavy polyrhythmic grooves. Peerless production and innovative songwriting are an absolute feature, and has resulted in wide radio airplay and stellar reviews.
"One of the first things to hit you when listening to Crossing The Rubicon is the high production quality. There is no denying the quality of the product on offer. It's good to see that an emerging Aussie metal band is producing such good quality tunes with unusual time signatures and clear differentiation between musical stylings in each track." - Gobz, FasterLouder.com.au
"A vicious assault; it's balls-to-the-wall heavy from start to finish... a bloody chunky production and a nicely balanced mix... Crossing the Rubicon is one of the more interesting albums to come out of Melbourne's death metal scene, and one that is definitely worth a listen." - MeanMachine, metalobsession.net
