Intricate wordplay, soul searching roots ,undeniably memorable hooks, a diverse group of individuals , old school vocal harmonies , intense passion , and diverse creative talent are but a few of the elements which combine to form the unmistakable sound of the Alchemystics. Formed in 2003 as a trio, and fueled by the belief that music could expand beyond the boundaries of style and categories , the group worked to create a sound that reflected their love of the heavy rhythms , of reggae , hip hop , & dub music, while also infusing the sounds of soul, and rootsy / earthy vocal harmonies to create a truly original music . Remaining true to their namesake, The Alchemystics have undergone a series of transformations over the years. Their current incarnation boasts a lineup of seven diverse and talented musicians. Including the Vocal stylings of Ras Jahn , Soul Jah T , Ian - I , & Force , the deep groove of Demse Zullo , booming low end of Garrett Sawyer , & the keyboard elements of Jay Metcalf . The band's musical experience is more than evident during their high energy, captivating live performances. When they take the stage the crowd takes notice and cannot help becoming engaged in what the band has dubbed the "new roots music" . Combining the past with the present & at the same time always moving forward, The Alchemystics are poised to bring a much needed change to the musical landscape with the unified sounds of their rhythm and melodic soul. Eager to take the music to the people, The Alchemystics' popularity has grown steadily, showing that their unique sound and explosive energy is addictive and enveloping . The power of their live performances has carried them across the Northeast to a wide variety of venues ranging from colleges ( UMASS , AMHERST , Mount Holyoke , Trinity College , Worcester State , Salem State ) , & festivals ( Vermont Reggae Fest , Ascutney , Whale Back , & Wachussett Mountain ski resorts , Strange Creek , Charlemont Reggae Fest ) , to nightclubs ( Toads Place , Calvin Theater , Tammany Hall , Crash Mansion , The Middle East , Pearl st , Iron Horse , ). With the spring 2006 release of their full length CD having been well received and a new single just released , The Alchemystics continue to grow and gain momentum. The group is hard at work on the follow up to last years release . With the new single Bangers & Mash having just been released on the Western New England hip hop compilation ( released on the Mystika Music label ) . The groups unique sound is spreading quickly & moving through the clubs and campuses of the US as well as Europe and the Carribean .
