Former Mudvayne bassist Ryan Martinie’s new band Soften the Glare is in the studio recording their debut album. Slated for a March release date, the band is currently crowdfunding the album through Pledge Music with rewards ranging from the album to a Skype conversation with Martinie all the way up to Executive Producer credit for the album.

Soften the Glare formed in 2015 and is rounded out by guitarist Bon Lozaga and drummer Mitch Hull. They describe their sound as jazz/rock fusion with elements of “metal, funk, prog and chaos.” Check out the first track from the album, entitled “Mission Possible”:
