The Algorithm

The Algorithm is the musical project of French musician Rémi Gallego (born 7 October 1989) from Perpignan. His style is characterised by an unusual combination of electronic music with progressive metal. Gallego chose the name The Algorithm to highlight the music's complex and electronic nature.

After the demise of his band Dying Breath, Rémi Gallego decided in 2009 to look for potential members for a band that focused on mathcore, which came as an inspiration from The Dillinger Escape Plan. After a futile search for new members, with the help of his guitar and a DAW, Gallego began to produce his own music.

In December 2009 and July 2010, he published the two demos The Doppler Effect and Critical Error, which were released through his own website for free download. Towards the end of 2010, he announced that he was working on a new EP named Identity (it was never completed). Also, he was preparing for his first live appearances.

In August 2011, The Algorithm released his compilation called Method_ on which the songs from his two previous demos were compiled which were also for free download. An appearance followed in October 2011 at the Euroblast Festival in Cologne, where The Algorithm featured alongside bands such as Textures, TesseracT and Vildhjarta.

A month later Mike Malyan, drummer for the band Monuments, uploaded a drum cover of the song "Isometry" on YouTube. After seeing this, Gallego was convinced that it would be possible to play his songs on a real drum set and Malyan was presented as an accompaniment during live performances.

"Before he put his Isometry drum cover online, one year ago, I had no idea that someone could ever play my drum programmings with such dedication, musicality and tightness. He was really thrilled to play live with me and so we decided to make it happen. I can't be more happy to work with such a great friend/musician."

In the same month, The Algorithm signed a record deal with the British label Basick Records.

In January 2012, The Algorithm released the single "Trojans" via Basick Records, which was only available digitally. It was followed by appearances in festivals such as Djentival in Karlsruhe, Germany, as well as on the UK Tech-Metal Fest held in Alton, United Kingdom, where he joined the release in addition to including Uneven Structure and Chimp Spanner appearances. On 19 November 2012, the debut album Polymorphic Code was released through Basick Records, which included seven previously unreleased songs as well as the song "Trojans".
