Drummer extraordinaire Dave Murray is best known for his work with Estradasphere, The Deserts Of Traun, Daedelus, and Tholus. In May 2006 he also agreed to join Sculptured for the recording of their third full-length album, entitled "Embodiment" (issued by The End Records).



According to a press release, Dave Murray's work flawlessly combines references to jazz, death/black metal, funk, fusion, klezmer, and progressive rock, thus making him perfect for the band's eclectic approach to death metal.



Murray tracked the drums in Los Angeles at the end of May 2006 while the rest of the band finished the recordings during summer with longtime engineer Ronn Chick, who had worked previously with both Sculptured and Agalloch.
