Spastic Ink is a US progressive/technical metal project led by guitarist Ron Jarzombek, with Pete Perez (bass) and Bobby Jarzombek (drums). The band is known for hyper-technical compositions, frequent tempo and rhythm changes, and collaborations with guest musicians on Ink Compatible.

Ink Compatible features guest appearances by Daniel Gildenlöw, Marty Friedman, Jens Johansson and Doug Keyser; Jason McMaster appears as a vocalist on Ink Compatible. Members mentioned in reviews have associations with Watchtower, S.A. Slayer, Riot and Demons & Wizards.

Two DeBaser reviews paint Spastic Ink as a hyper-technical progressive metal project led by Ron Jarzombek. Critics praise extraordinary instrumental skill, tempo and rhythm complexity, and standout tracks, but some fault an excess of virtuosity over emotional content. Ink Compatible earns particular admiration for guest musicians and memorable compositions; Ink Complete is seen as impressive yet occasionally sterile.

For:Fans of hyper-technical progressive metal and complex instrumental music.

 Born from the minds of three musicians named Ron Jarzombek (guitar), Pete Perez (bass), and Bobby Jarzombek (drums), Spastic Ink are perhaps one of the clearest examples of what many today consider progressive metal: a concentration of technique, mostly for its own sake, which sacrifices the emotional aspect of music in favor of the technical one.

 These are all insane compositions with incredibly complex tempo and rhythm changes that presume a very high level of technical skill from the musicians playing these seemingly silly but actually very challenging songs.
