Not that I’m complaining (too much), but is the vocal style of the year to sound like Rody Walker of Protest the Hero?

This band is the shit. Fuck, I love Metalsucks. Thank you for giving this band some well-earned props. I’ve been listening to this album for months and it is incredible. Where the fuck is a new Extol, already?!

It’s my Birthday wish (and I imagine my Xmas wish) that this album and Volbeat’s Guitar Gangsters & Cadillac Blood get domestic releases (US).

Ok apparently trying to put a “”, denoting “not equal to”, doesn’t work in the comments.

Textures are Dutch.

These guys are really good. I havent heard this new record yet, but their first one, Monument Bineothan is a really solid record. They are kindof a combination of Meshuggah and Refused with a little bit of the Neur/Isis stuff in there as well. The singer used to be the singer in and old solidstate band called Selfmindead and one of the guitarists was the main songwriter of Extol up until Extol went melodic rock. Expect alot of off-time grooves, choppy riffs, and a variety of vocals. Some songs work better than others, but overall these guys rule!
