TENET is the group assembled by Jed Simon (Armoros, Strapping Young Lad, Zimmers Hole, Scar The Martyr). Jed worked on and off writing songs beginning in 1996 but busy with other groups, including touring with Front Line Assembly, it wasn’t until the height of SYL’s success in 2003 that Century Media committed to Jed to realize and release a TENET album. Then in 2006 as Strapping… was put to rest when Jed have the ability to focus on and develop his dream did he assemble the perfect lineup for the next part of his intended career. Recruiting his Caustic Thought, Strapping Young Lad, Front Line Assembly and Zimmers Hole bandmate bassist Byron Stroud (also later of Fear Factory, 3 Inches of Blood fame) was the obvious choice. Then came guitarist Glen Alvelais (Forbidden, Testament) who recommended Steve ‘Zetro’ Souza, who was in between stints with Exodus to join on vocals. Gene Hoglan (Dark Angel, Death, SYL, Dethklok) joined on drums finalizing the group (after intended At The Gates, The Haunted, Cradle of Filth, Paradise Lost drummer Adrian Erlandsson was unable to fully commit to the schedule especially living overseas). Armed with such an intense caliber of artists TENET began recording their debut album ‘Sovereign,’ produced by Vincent Wojno (Machine Head, Trouble, Kreator) and Jed Simon and mastered by Andy Sneap (Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth, Carcass).
