I stumbled upon this randomly on another day of blog touring.I really dig what I'm hearing so far. Really sweet mix of post-rock/punk/hardcore/metal mixed with technical prowess. That's such a shitty word, but these guys are pretty tight. They go from sweet melodic, yet heavy passages to full-on Dillinger Escape Plan freak-outs and then even a few somewhat discouraging metal-core mosh breakdowns. But, at least it's varied and not what I'm hearing from every other "technically proficient" band out there. The vocals tread water between distorted and muffled grind growls and shrieks to clean melodic singing and straight up hardcore shouts.
I can hear bands like Envy, Dillinger Escape Plan, Irepress, Cephalic Carnage, Finch, Will Haven, Mouth of the Architect, etc in their sound.
Anyway... if any of that sounds remotely interesting to you, I'd say give this a listen. It's so far coming across as a complete album too... couldn't say any one song is unique or breathtaking from another, but it all sounds good from start to finish so far, and that means more to me than any one song could.
