History

Beginning

A Life of Science began in Summer 2006 when long time friends James Keenan (vocals/bass/synth) and Zakk Geist (guitar/screams/programming) found themselves back in their hometown of Phoenix, AZ after moving away for college. ^[2] They recruited James' friend from Northern Arizona University, Scott Passamonte, to play guitar. The three then auditioned drummer, Angel Garcia, to complete the lineup.^[3]

A Life of Science EP

In Fall 2007, A Life of Science self-released a self-produced EP, consisting of four songs, called the A Life of Science EP. The EP was tracked at The Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences in Mesa, AZ and at the band's home studio in Phoenix, AZ.^[4]

The Apneist

A Life of Science recorded "The Apneist," a concept album in Summer 2007 with producer Larry Elyea at Mind's Eye Digital (Jimmy Eat World, Eyes Set to Kill), who described the album as "One of the most challenging and enjoyable records I've done to date. This record is a rollercoaster ride into uncharted territories of sonics and emotion.”

The Apneist is a concept album which is currently available on iTunes, Amazon and other online retailers with plans for a physical release in the Summer of 2009. A comic book, film, novel and more projects, based on the story of The Apneist, are currently in production. ^[5]
