THE SEQUENCE OF PRIME: VIRION



Musician/programmer/graphic artist/producer/engineer/mad scientist, Brandon Duncan has unleashed his cyber-minded alter-ego, THE SEQUENCE OF PRIME upon the universe via the epic (and often disturbing) Virion. The missing link between man and machine, Virion has already become one of the underground's most critically acclaimed releases.


Written, recorded mixed and mastered at StullStudio.

THE SEQUENCE OF PRIME is Brandon Duncan:
Guitar, Bass, Programming Vocals & Visuals


In addition to being a musician, engineer and producer, Brandon is also an accomplished graphic artist who has professional experience in graphic arts, illustration and animation. Check out Brandon's work at www.corporatedemon.com.

What can't Brandon Duncan do??? He's an ace graphic designer, musician and producer/engineer. This project is proof. Agoraphobic Nosebleed's half-human/half-robot vibe + shredding thrash/death riffs + smart lyrics + batshit-crazy vocals = The Sequence of Prime.- Decibel

Like any Frankenstein, some may view Virion as nothing more than a pile of parts sewn together without a thought of the consequences (an abomination, if you will), while others will see it for what it is; a beautiful and brilliant work of art that requires a bit of time and patience to fully understand and appreciate. - Teeth Of The Divine

When not designing logos for top metal magazine websites (TeethOfTheDivine.com) by day, Kansas boy Brandon Duncan records music by night under the TSOP moniker, specializing in a doom-tinged brand of electronic-enhanced thrash that never removes its black boot from the listener's throat. Virion is an epic, lyrically frightening concept album about how a single, tiny, infectious microbe (for example, a virion like HIV) can upend massive organisms and whole universes. In other words, this dark meditation on mortality offers deadly riffs and programmed beats that make Ministry's Al Jourgensen sound like a wuss. Bask in the eco-apocalyptic horror of "Backlit" at your own risk. And whatever you do, don't spin instrumental track "Icosahedron" after sunset. The crushing drum solo will ice your blood. ★★★★★ - Vegas Seven

This is my wet dream. - JGCSound

Whereas the riffs cement the many seams of the Virion monster and skillfully programmed drumming greases the joints, it's Duncan's swallowed-mike vocals that give the beast power to assail and raze and imbue it with unbound ferocity. - Metal Review

What always captures my attention are the lyrics to any conceptual piece, so when a band takes pride in rising above the vacancy of a simplistic or boring storyline I'm always more impressed. When a band also undertakes the daunting task of claiming to want to awaken our senses and scare us out of self-submission I want some clear back-up for that. Duncan's proclivity to stir the fear in your head is achieved tenfold on Virion. The CD is a lesson in the catastrophes awaiting mankind within the veil of its own manic hubris. - Metal Psalter
