Characteristically Info_Cifon's arrangements are constructed from Modular foundations then built up with other forms of synthesis and distinctive programming techniques. Fundamentally, the various styles are tonal metaphors of a disdain for global institutions, govenments and diplomats with their own vested interests.

My Turn To Kill were an upcoming rock band hailing from Anglesy, North Wales.
They have now changed their name as of May 2009 to Through Colour to avoid being stereotyped as a metal or hardcore band.

Their sound is intensely epic and certainly has the potential to make it big.
