Angel Bartolotta, best known as drummer of such bands as Dope, Genitorturers, PIG plus Crossbreed, and long-time endorser of Drummerszone.com, is currently in the final stages of mastering Team Cybergeist\'s first full-length album, titled \'How To Destroy Something Beautiful\'. Team Cybergeist is Angel\'s solo/side project.\"\'How to Destroy Something Beautiful\' is the first full-length release of original material from the Team Cybergeist project. The content of this album is colored by memories and emotions pained with the process of letting go... Confusion. Bitterness. Hope.\"
From the ground up, Angel arranged all of these songs by constructing them from bits and pieces of guitar riffs, synth lines, MIDI patterns, and vocal performances composed by different musicians from all around the world. Each contribution was sent to Angel electronically and then produced in his own studio. Continues Angel:
\"This has been an exciting collaborative music project that appreciates both lesser-known local musicians as well as internationally known artists, putting everyone involved on an equal level. Musicians from all different levels and genres uniting for one single purpose.
In a music scene constrained by ruthless competition and heightened egoism, it is exciting to lead a project that unites a team of humble musicians from a diversity of backgrounds, who willingly composed for the love of music. This album is a collaborative effort, meant to break down the hierarchical nature of the music industry.\"
\'How to Destroy Something Beautiful\' will include performances by members and former members of bands such as Stone Sour, Kittie, Godhead, Morbid Angel, Adema, Dark New Day, The Dreaming, Wednesday 13, Psyclon Nine, Jack Off Jill, Switched, Soulfly, Zeromancer, Ra, The Undead, Kidneythieves, Sepultura, Amen, Hanzel Und Gretyl, Deadstar Assembly, Professional Murder Music, Alice In Videoland, Pro-Pain, Makeshift Romeo, and many others.
