Jared Smith: Archspire’s “Lucid Collective Somnambulation” Bass Playthrough

Technical death metal outfit Archspire recently filled out their lineup with the addition of bassist Jared Smith. The Vancouver-based group made the announcement on Facebook.

“We are pleased to finally complete our lineup with the addition of Jared Smith on bass,” the band said in a statement. “He’s a monster musician with a killer writing style. We have already started composing music as a five-piece, and it’s shaping up to be the best music we’ve ever collaborated on.”
