PRAISE FOR “INCINERATOR”
“[Tankian] channels his main band's heavier side on the album's blazing first single.”
Revolver
“The song is explosive … starting out with a blistering guitar riff before Tankian’s soaring trademark vocals take the spotlight. About two minutes into the track, Tankian shifts into a chaotic rapid delivery reminiscent of SOAD’s ‘Chop Suey!’”

In some exciting news, it is revealed that McCreary and Tankian will appear together on November 16 at Eye For Sound Gallery (1638 Colorado Blvd.) in Los Angeles from 1 PM–4 PM for autographs and selfies for those who purchase The Singularity album (vinyl, CD) or graphic novel.
The Singularity is an epic concept album and graphic novel, featuring a legendary lineup of rock talent. On the album, McCreary creates a unique hard-rock adventure bursting with cinematic energy from use of live orchestra, choir, and international colors including bagpipes, morin khuur, and nyckelharpa. In addition to Tankian, McCreary has enlisted a truly extraordinary cast of musicians and vocalists that includes Slash (Guns N’ Roses), Rufus Wainwright, Corey Taylor (Slipknot), Jens Kidman (Meshuggah), Joe Satriani, Buck Dharma (Blue Öyster Cult), Asdru Sierra (Ozomatli), Gaelic rapper and poet Griogair, Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), Scott Ian (Anthrax), Brendon Small (Metalocalypse), Billy Boyd (The Lord of the Rings), Eivør (God of War), Guthrie Govan and Bryan Beller (The Aristocrats), Mike Keneally (Frank Zappa), Ben Weinman (The Dillinger Escape Plan), Steve Bartek and John Avila (Oingo Boingo), Warren Fitzgerald (The Vandals), Esjay Jones (We Are PIGS), Sigurjón Kjartansson (HAM), Raya Yarbrough (Outlander), rapper Mega Ran, and legendary metal drummer Gene Hoglan (Strapping Young Lad, Dethklok). The Singularity was co-written and co-produced by McCreary’s brother, Brendan McCreary, who also contributes lead vocals to eight songs. The accompanying story is revealed in three spoken-word monologues lifted directly from the graphic novel, performed on the album by celebrated actors Lee Pace (Foundation, The Hobbit), Danai Gurira (Black Panther, The Walking Dead), and Ryan Hurst (Sons of Anarchy, God of War Ragnarök). The album’s graphic novel was produced by Black Market Narrative.
More news on Bear McCreary appearances will be released in the coming weeks.
