Instrumental progressive metal duo Why Should I will release their debut album, Turn It Off, on October 30, 2026 as an independent release.

The project brings guitarist Mark Lamb, known for his work with Acid King and Scorched Earth Policy, back together with drummer Scott Sprague. The two had previously played together in the thrash band Die Hard, and renewed jam sessions after Lamb moved from the San Francisco Bay Area to central Ohio gradually developed into a full album.

Turn It Off is built around eight instrumental tracks drawing from progressive metal, thrash, sludge and soundtrack influences. The album was recorded in Lamb and Sprague’s basement setups and mixed at Trident Studios by Juan Urteaga.

The band’s lineup is Mark Lamb on guitars and keyboards and Scott Sprague on drums, percussion and keyboards.
