Rodan Broke Up In 1995 With The Members Pursuing Other Musical Interests O'Neil In Retsin And In Various Solo Works Mueller In June Of 44 Coultas And Noble In Rachel's And Coultas And O'Neil In The Sonora Pine. Mueller And Noble Started Shipping News In Late 1996 And Continue To Perform With That Band Today. The Music Of Rodan Is Dynamic And Complex. Its Extremes Are Well Demonstrated Within The First Two Tracks Of The Group's 1994 Recording Rusty. The Album Introduces Us To The Band With The Rich Chiming Layers Of "Bible Silver Corner" A Neo-Classical Guitar-And-Bass Tear-Jerker That Passes Through Several Achingly Gorgeous Movements Never Getting Loud Over Its Near-Seven-Minute Duration And Often Provoking Paranoia With Its Dissonance. No Sooner Than We Have Been Lulled Into The Ideal Meditative State And We Are Harshly Awakened By The Alarm Of The Hardcore Gem "Shiner" A Two-And-A-Half Minute Discharge Of Off-Kilter Rhythms And Spastic Vocal Blasts. Many Musical Ideas Are Explored In Each Song Sometimes Beautiful And Serene And Other Times Violent And Tense. The Vocals Are Unique In That They Are Often Spoken Or Whispered In Places Punctuated By Wails And Shouts In Others. The Three Guitarists Handle Vocal Duties Some Songs Being Sung/spoken By One Person And Others Being Done By All Three Musicians.
