I Am Abomination

[bowlermicah]

found these guys on a blog, they are amazing. think protest the hero and old human abstract for the music, with some post-hardcore, and slightly high register vocals. its amazing considering theyre not signed.

[encmetalhead]

they're better then how he explained it ;)

[bowlermicah]

you can expound upon it some more, if you'd like. i would also say just heavier post hardcore.

[encmetalhead]

i've only heard 3 tracks but i do havethe full album downloaded whe i give it a full listen i'll expand on it but it does have a PTH vibe to it dunno about that THA though

[bowlermicah]

i think the sweeps in the beginning of heir to the throne remind me a lot of THA, either way its awesome.

[Dimmu Burger]

Dang, this is good sh*t! Downloading album now!

[bowlermicah]

Dang, this is good sh*t! Downloading album now!

the whole ep is def solid, but i think heir to the throne is the best. but honestly, thats pretty hard to top.

[Dimmu Burger]

it is, I'd love to sing in a band like this, this is my bag.

i know, the music is so top notch. their guitarist is awesome, and his solos and sweeps also have really good melody.

[Dimmu Burger]

true dat, good melodies are where its at.

[bowlermicah]

true dat, good melodies are where its at.

not like the new human abstract, hahaha

[encmetalhead]

they should be signed with all the net hype they've been getting (Leakhere, HTN, and now Sputnikmusic)

rise or equal vision would be nice.

[Dimmu Burger]

Man the vocals are great, I love that falsetto!! Could use some juns though. =)

[bowlermicah]

ha, yeah, a breakdown with some screaming in it would fit pretty well, but maybe they think thats a little played out, and theyd be right haha.

[encmetalhead]

Equal Vision treats bands like ****
Rise, Tragic Hero, or a smaller label like that would be awesome

[Dimmu Burger]

Ferret would be good, nobody complains about them and they are good at marketing.

[bowlermicah]

Equal Vision treats bands like ****
Rise, Tragic Hero, or a smaller label like that would be awesome

rise has a lot of bands, would they still be considered a smaller label? and yeah, i think tragic hero could use a heavier band like this... and i dont know anything about how equal vision treats its bands, i just know most of the stuff that comes out in it is quality, and i know people that would buy it just because their logo is on it.

[Dimmu Burger]

You're my favorite new user, assuming your a new user.

[bowlermicah]

lol, i've been on here for a while, i just never posted very much. and i definitely not new when it comes to this kind of music.

[Dimmu Burger]

Its nice when somebody comes along and just says hey check out this kick *** band that nobody has heard of.

[AngelPhoenix]

Damn this is tight. I generally can't stand this vocal style but Phil's vocal's don't really bother me somehow. And they all look like friggin 14 years old (not really), so young and so...on point. It's so flighty and melodic, but still heavy. Awesome stuff.

[AngelPhoenix]

I can't find this anywhere though, download, sale, nothing :(

[willfellmarsy]

win i love life just a little more tonight...thank godness i checked this thread out...you win good sir /repped if it was still possible

[Khaan]

someone needs to tell these fat dudes to stop wearing their little sister's shirts

[Pebster49]

He can f*cking shred though!

[bowlermicah]

SPUTNIKMUSIC DOES NOT CONDONE...

etc.

[Pete]

theyre pretty nice, except theyre like pth sans the fast/hard parts and with electronics instead

i am seriously missing some intensity here, it's way too poppy

[Silenius]

1349 much?

[encmetalhead]

it's like post-hardcore infused with tech metal

so invein of PTH

thanks a lot, im glad you guys have liked this so far... it should be hitting itunes fairly soon for those of you who didnt download that link, lol.

[Dimmu Burger]

iTunes, lol!!

[willfellmarsy]

double lol...i don't think the end of the ep/album is as good as the beginning but both parts are still quite good

[Angmar]

First 2 posts in this thread seal the fate of this bands quality.

[Dimmu Burger]

I still enjoy them a good bit. Great stuff!

[Pebster49]

The vocals get a bit tiresome though, I think they over did it

[willfellmarsy]

Yea their good but by the end of the album some of the emotion in the first tracks is gone...definitely look forward to future releases however

[Dimmu Burger]

I'm sure a good label will pick them up soon, I certainly would if I were them.

[willfellmarsy]

yea if i was the head of a label i'd pick em up sit um down, tell them to be moar br00tal and stop wearing their sisters' t-shirts...their only problem is that their sound is really fresh and crisp, but almost-too fresh and by the end of the album, that's kinda all that's left...vocalist needs some versatility training

[Dimmu Burger]

He could scream more and I'd be happy with that. it would make his melodies more effective.

[Pete]

does he scream at all?

[Dimmu Burger]

Not much if at all. I'm gonna listen again to check, lol.

[Pete]

i dont think he ever does

[Dimmu Burger]

Yeah I think you're right.

That's what makes PtH better, vocally at least, the contrast of screams and good melodies.

[Pete]

also that there is some intensity in the music, IAAs music lacks conflict

THERE IS NO CONFLICT IN THIS MUSIC

[Dimmu Burger]

True, no conflict, but it has great melodies vocally and musically. The vocals and guitars are intricate at times too, which is neat.

[Pete]

as intricate as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq-5x-SpuLc

???

i didnt think so

[Dimmu Burger]

Lol is that you Pete?

[Pete]

yes, at almost 300% the original speed none the less

[Dimmu Burger]

Dang man! Good job!

[Pete]

i know i know i am pretty much a perfect specimen
