From the Dave Sez archive: After the death of Shawn Lane in the autumn of 2003, Hellborg would continue to mine Carnatic influences on the 2005 album Kali's Son, recorded in India with Hellborg's longstanding percussionists, the Vinayakram brothers. But early 2006 would bring a radical change in style - into metal jazz with "Art Metal". Shawn Lane's absence was filled by with Swedish metal shredder, Matthias 'IA' Eklund, who substitutes a harder-edged, chop-dominated drive, returning the music to a more Western style. The Art Metal project started in spring 2006 as a live trio of Hellborg and Eklund with Zoltan Czörzs on drums, giving us a glimpse of that heavy stripped-down sound before the studio sessions integrated Selvaganesh Vinayakram and Hellborg's earlier Swedish bandmates, the Johanssen brothers with Jens on keyboards and Anders on drums, making the final 2007 "Art Metal" CD an exemplary fusion of Indian, jazz and metal influences
