The album is incredible but I really want someone to interview these guys, especially about the lyrics and the influences on their own work. Love the guitarist's singing and I typically hate singing. Yeah, I'm an StC fanboy but it's difficult to not be with music this good.

That was pretty assertive man. But yeah, i wish they would come out more. They deserve to get some attention and an interview would be fantastic. I think they're from different countries, i mean, how's that even possible?? I would love to know more about their standing as a band. They sure look like incredible hard workers. And very talented too.

Exactly, they're pretty blatantly at odds with their profession and you know that there are groups just begging for them to tour. I'm a guitarist by trade and I love composition work so these guys are my kind of genius, but I find myself emotionally invested in every song and muttering the lyrics even when I'm not listening to it. That's why I'm so deeply into them is I'm trying to figure out how they made me, a guy who is very okay with having zero vocals, begging for more when Jonas stops singing or when Gareth (beast name) stops roaring like a monster.

Yo, Gareth here.. Thought I'd make an account to quickly answer some stuff.
Working across the interwebs has actually been a very liberating process with this band, it's not the barrier people think it would be at all. So far the process has been that Jack writes the majority of the music, then Jonas and I bring it to life. As for how we assemble the albums, sending files back and forth the internet to make music is pretty common place in the record industry now. You'll get a guy in America tracking it, a guy in germany doing the editing, some latvian dude re-amping the guitars, someone else mixing.. So long as the files are all exported to start and end at the same place, there are no problems with sending stuff back and forth between countries.

tl;dr

On a conceptual level, I handle pretty much all of that stuff. We all tend to talk with each other a lot about the themes and concepts and try and make sure we're all on the same page, so it's still collaborative to a certain extent, but I end up having the final say in what it all means thematically and conceptually.
I'm pretty much just inspired by life itself... That means the people that are a part of my existence, my views on our society and how sickly, misguided and broken it has become, my spirituality, my loves and my losses, my pain and my bliss.. All of it really. I think that's why people seem to connect with what we do so deeply. We all pour a lot of ourselves into our music and allow ourselves to be vulnerable and emotionally naked. Whether we got any recognition for it or not, we would still continue to make our music just the same as we always have, because it's not that we do this for fame, fortune, glory or anything like this, we do it because we must. The Man With No Face was an especially exorcistic album for me personally. There are a lot of demons running loose on that album, yet it ends with finding the light, and if I had not gotten that out in some way, my soul would not be in a place where it'd be capable of seeing or feeling such all encompassing light and love as it is now..

And finally.. We will be all heading out to Sweden this winter to record our next album together in the flesh, and then potentially next year will see us touring and all that jazz. We're going to be going all out with the next album. Our music will be more unified on a conceptual, musical and emotional level than it ever has before and we think it's going to be very special.
Anyways, sorry for the ramble, and thanks for the review!

The band name is literally the only reason I haven't listened to this.

It's funny that people complain about the name. I originally got their EP because their name was so dumb sounding and I thought they were going to be a deathcore spoof band or something. After I listened I was hooked and they turned out to be one of the best deathcore bands I have ever heard and possibly one of the only deathcore bands trying to improve their sound. So many bands became stagnant but these guys are actually trying to push the envelope.

Gareth, you're a kickass vocalist! so fucking brutal! Had to say it

That cake looks like a log of shit.

I read somewhere that it was named as a pisstake of the 'verb the noun' band names, and they went for something so thoroughly ridiculous that it doesn't add to the music in any way. I like it, I get kinda embarrassed when talking about bands like Thy Art Is Murder with people that don't listen to that sort of thing, but I want to talk about it because the album's just so great! Excellent album by them, probably on balance my favourite to date.

Haha nice! Gareth was here. Lovely, he's probably never coming back but man, that was some great posting!



Yeah it's that wow factor of them being in different countries that really mess with people's head, like mine. But the internet makes it all pretty easy. Still very impressive though, it takes a LOT of discipline to put so much music together in such a short period of time, when you never actually get to exchange ideas in person. And is the music good or what..



About the name.. Seriously, it didn't even make think twice.. And when i did come to think of it, i instantly realized it's an ironic reference. I mean, look at their music.. I mean, fractal exam sequence makes me shake to my core

Wasn't expecting dumb djent shit when I was going to jam this.
