HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY:
Rob Perez and Rick Mals got to know each other back in the late 80’s when Rob was in a recording project with some mutual friends. After the project was completed, Rob moved to NYC in 1987 to play the clubs and Rick moved to Boston to attend Berklee. A couple of years later both returned home to Pittsburgh, Pa. and ran into one another at a Kings X show but soon lost touch again. It was around this time (1991) that Rob was jamming in an improve jam band with keyboardist Rob Klan. They soon lost touch as well after buying homes far apart and starting families and business careers.Fast forward to 1999… Rob Perez started to get back into writing and composing again and wanted to form a group to record with. After not seeing Rick for about 10 years, Rob stopped by the music store Rick teaches at to say hello. The two friends rekindled the spark of friendship and after catching up on the years that went by decided to work together on Rob’s new music. A couple of months later Rob was eating dinner with his wife at a local restaurant and in walks Rob Klan with his wife. (The two Rob’s now lived within 5 minutes of each other and didn’t know it.) Being seated across from each other at the restaurant, it didn’t take long before Rob K. was handed a demo of songs to review. The very first time the two jam band buddies sat down to play, it was evident the reforming of that friendship was long overdue!Topping off the year 1999, Rob Perez meet Eric Fuller and the two quickly formed a friendship that resulted in the demo material called “The Visual Cliff Project”. After taking a break to finish his degree and plan his wedding, Eric returned to the fold permanently for the 2004 “Key To Eternity” album. Histechnical contributions (all things PC related) to the 2003 album “Lyrics For The Living” were essential for its success.Both “Lyrics For The Living” & “Key To Eternity” sold out of their respective first printings and are now in their 2nd pressings. The success of both CD’s prompted the band to look for a singer to add another dimension to the music. After an exhausting search for the right vocalist that resulted in auditioning a handful of really great folks, but none that fit the bill in total. Rob P. happened upon a review on the Virtuosity website for the band Orphan Project [orphanfound.com] and was blown away. Rob knew the powerful and inspiring voice that was present on those mp3’s was the guy the band needed. After basic tracks were completed for the 3 tunes written for Vocals for the 2005 album “Freedom Within”, Rob contacted Vocalist Shane Lankford to see if he would be available and or interested in working on the tunes. After hearing the material, Shane contacted Rob and said yes!The Freedom Within CD is now in it’s third pressing! In 2006, the Perez/Lankford collaboration produced a special project called Fall Of Echoes. This 12 track all vocal album showcases Shane’s huge talent and gave Rob P. the opportunity to write a collection of rock songs that focused more on traditionalsong structures. 2007 finds VC releasing what some are calling their best yet and who knows whats coming next!.

REVIEWS:
The music of Visual Cliff combines the power and intensity of Rock and Metal with the intricacies of heavy jazz-fusion. Sometimes heavy and in your face other times very atmospheric and ambient. The twists and turns and creative elements that can be found within each composition keep the listener actively engaged. The melodic and fiery bursts that guitarist Rob Perez employs can be compared to a unique blend of Alex Lifeson meets Allan Holdsworth meets Joe Satriani. Drum composer Rick Mals is an incredible talent bringing a creative punch to the compositions, redefining the term groove. Eric Fuller is the monster talent on Bass and adds that perfect blend of edge and power to the rhythm section. Keyboardist, Rob Klan, provides the incredible atmospheric backdrops that truly accentuate the music without ever being over-stated. Together, these musicians have created a very unique voice in the instrumental rock/fusion genre and Key To Eternity should be considered essential in any true music fans collection(http://www.holymetalrob.com/)
