Yes, believe it or not, a hard-rocking ode to capitalism and the American industrialist (pick your jaw up off the floor!). Heavy guitars, busy basslines, orchestral strings, techno loops, chanting choirs...

Hard-Driving, Richly-Textured Rock Upholding Individualism and the Heroic in Man
IMMOVABLE MOVER (www.immovablemover.com) has just released its debut, self-titled compact disc, containing nearly a full hour of hard-driving, richly-textured progressive/alternative rock. The album presents a hybrid of modern and more classic "prog" rock sensibilities, starting with organic, intimate-sounding guitar, bass, drums, and vocals and broadening the soundscape with a multitude of keyboards, orchestral strings, and every manner of exotic instrument. Musically, IMMOVABLE MOVER refuses to conform itself into any trendy genre such as grunge or alt/rock as popular radio knows it, instead following its own stubbornly individualistic path. Individualism also serves as the cornerstone of the lyrics, which reject the dreary, nihilistic attitudes so prevalent in contemporary rock in favor of a more rational and positive view of life greatly inspired by the late author/philosopher Ayn Rand. The debut CD is a one-man project - written, performed, recorded, and mixed by Dave Gastambide. The lineup will soon be expanded as Dave prepares to unleash his brand of "thinking man's" rock on unsuspecting club audiences throughout Michigan.

Story behind the song
It's the "Land of Opportunity..." it's the "American Dream." At least, until somebody actually dares to succeed, and then suddenly they're Public Enemy #1. Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged was the seed of inspiration for "Industrial Messiah," an ode to one of the most unappreciated faces of modern-day heroism - the American industrialist. This might be the first time a rock musician has ever put forth an uncompromising and unabashed "ode to capitalism." Musically, this one (like a lot of the album) is all over the place. Where else will you hear hard-driving guitar/bass/drums grooves, techno loops, orchestral strings, Tibetan monks, and a boys choir all in one song?
