Canadian quintet Starring Janet Leigh were formed in 2003 and channeled more than their name from Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, if their jarring and highly technical blend of death metal, hardcore, and off-the-wall prog and jazz influences is any indication. After years of intensive rehearsal and roadwork to develop this peculiar style in and around their home base of Ontario, vocalist Matt Nimmo, guitarists Matt Zadkovich and Chris Sokoloski, bassist Justin Brown, and drummer Aaron Pozzer released their debut album, Spectrum, through Metal Blade in 2009. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
