Metaphysicians

Metaphysicians were conceptualised en route to a skydive onto a glacier in New Zealand in 2006. Fuelled by pinot noir and metaphysical poetry, founder members and chief songwriters John Tully and Muiris O'Sullivan sought out death metal bassist Joey Coyne and art/jazz/hawaiian drummer Tim 'Tommy' Tully from the bowels of Medical School exams to flesh out the sound on return to Galway. In 2007, they played 3 historical shows to rabid fans. In 2008, they released their debut EP, 'Debutant' on Galway-based Indie Label Laredo Records. Controversial debut album 'Incident Report' followed in December 2008. Plans for a concept album 'Police procedural' are currenyl on hold due to other projects but the Spector of Phil on production looms large over the metaheads.
