These guys can shread. no arguing it

nah, the solos are pretty tastefully done. he doesn't go overboard.

This is still blowing my mind.

The song in that clip slays but I don't care for the singer's growls.

Shredder from Aletheian.

What an amazing band, prefer their first album though.

Album Rating: 3.5

listened to this for the first time in awhile to get me ready for their new album (they just finished up recording it)

One of the few albums you can't help but to "growl"-along with.

These guys are much more progressive than Opeth.

Opeth are just really boring melodic death now. Especially on Watershed.

Come on now...any form of death metal?

ninjuice is correct. They are just Progressive Metal with a minor death metal influence on the vocals.

Still would fit under the proverbial umbrella of death metal though, though I would never really refer to them as that in a normal conversation...This Message Edited On 11.25.08

Judging by Blackwater Park and Watershed (haven't heard more), they're almost heavy enough to be melodeath at points, but still aren't.
edit: I also need to listen to this band some more. I love "Elegy".This Message Edited On 11.25.08

Their new album absolutely blows their other stuff (which is great) out of the water IMO...I'm trying to finish up my review for it but I can't make it sound unfanboyish

Yeah its not all "omg album is amazing cuz i say it iz" but it's pretty much full of bountiful praise, but in my opinion its highly warranted so idk...

New album isn't very good and also it's not this album so dont worry about it in here.
