The Fourth Law hails from the USA, and delivers a new vision of heavy music, seamlessly combining orchestral and electronic climates with a compellingly heavy base. Each instrumental movement adds a different flavor or feeling, from ambient symphonic to urgent and passionate; the music is written to bring the listener into the story. The Fourth Law represents the creative outlet of songwriter and producer Patrick Ingham, whose 25 years of self-taught multi-instrumentalism focuses primarily on guitar.
