Jason Hamacher may have decided to put Decahedron on hiatus but the rock will not stop.

The drummer is currently on tour with Megadeath, Fear Factory, Dream Theatre and Dillinger Escape Plan (go figure) as massage therapist for Dillinger. He is keeping a record of the whole experience (words and photos) over at his blog.

Once off tour Hamacher will be devoting much of his time to a project announced on his blog last month. He is planning to travel to the Middle East to record the sacred Aramaic chants of the Syrian Orthodox Church.

At the time {when he first heard the chants} I did not know Aramaic was still spoken, let alone used for liturgy, and the history that abounds within the Church amazed me. It is my intention to share with the public the sense of holiness, reverence, and history that the Syrian Orthodox Church offers. I propose to do this by traveling to Aleppo, Syria, during spring 2006 to photograph, research, and record the culture of the Urfalees of St. George's Syrian Orthodox Church," Hamacher said on his blog.
