YES - they look like fratboys...

YES - it's black metal...

YES - the vocals take a bit of getting used to

NO - they HARDLY play live at all...

STILL - I think they kick ass...

Live in Portland during one of their VERY rare performances...

Will probably appeal to Opeth fans to a degree...they live about a half an hour away from me, have three full length albums out on The End Records here in the U.S. and a bunch of EPs, vinyl minis and a split with Nest...

Vocals aside (which I think grow on you, the more you listen to it), I have to say I really love these guys...very talented musicians.

New album is REALLY good...this song is from it...

Very beautiful instrumentals.... I usually skip the vocal tracks.


She Painted Fire Across the Skyline is an awesome song.

When I first discovered them, their music gave me goosebumps.

Please do! Awesome group.... they could have so much potential if they sped up a little and did less death vocals.

I would agree; although I do prefer the slower stuff, I'd like to see something a wee bit different going on vocally, but...even singing clean, there's a bit to be desired.

Still, all things considered, I think they're a pretty fine unit...
