I think people who listen to Kezia and Fortress at the same time will prefer Kezia, it's a lot more accessible. But for people who's listened to kezia to death, Fortress takes their sound, and evolves it to something subtly different, it's a slightly darker sound I think, and they're clearly drawing on influences from a lot of different bands in this album.

Download Spiral Architect - Insect and tell me you don't recognise the bass tone!

thats cool they're going for a more darker sound, i was hoping they'd go that way

importing it onto my computer right now. :)

edit: the ****? popped the CD fresh out of the case, plopped in the CD drive, and it's already skipped twice within 45 seconds of bloodmeat.

That's your CD drive most likely.

But then you'd have to sit through their atrocious music and vocals. The tone on Fortress is a lot less threatening and awesome than his normally is.

probably. those two are the only ones though, the rest of the album is fine.

so the album's great. Not what I expected, actually. I need to listen to it more.

that really sucks :( bloodmeat is like one of the best songs on the album.

Bloodmeat is my least favorite song on the album.

edit: thats not to say its bad though

They're a tad hectic aren't they, I'm not a massive fan. It's just a distinctive bass tone, and he's definitely got that sound, albeit a bit different.

It sounds a bit like he's using really floppy flatwounds, but with lots of twang somehow.

I really like the 8 measure part at 2:40 on The Dissentience for some reason.

The Dissentience is an awesome song in general.

Wretch is my favourite at the moment, just for the bit at the end.

heard wretch the other day and i thought the whole song was pretty sick

For those curious, or for folks as fanatic as myself here is what the set list was for the first handful of dates:[[in order]]

Blood Meat
The Dissentience
Nautical
(Intro)--Limb from Limb
Sequoia Throne
Blindfolds Aside
Heretics & Killers --or-- No Stars Over Bethlehem
Goddess Bound
Goddess Gagged [[susceptible to being cut if theres lack of time since they are not the head-lining band.]]


I would imagine that the Kezia songs are interchangeable depending on whatever the band feels like playing although no stars only popped up once over 4 shows

I would love to hear bone marrow as much as the next crazy fan but in the lack there of 'limb from limb' really shines in this set list.

Cheers folks.

*waits for warped tour w/ PTH*

They play Limb from Limb though. It just depends on the date.

They finally clicked. I am really digging [I]Fotress[/I]

yeah i cant stop listening to this album, absolutely amazing
favorite song (at the moment)

bone marrow

My friend and I are thinking of going to a similar show.

Silverstein
The Devil Wears Prada
A Day To Remember
Protest The Hero

Is it worth it if we've never heard any of the other bands?

none of the other bands come close to PTH. actually TDWP are one of the worst bands

when i saw PTH open for Trivum, they were amazing. they put on a really fun energetic show. but their lead guitarists wasnt there and they were too high to stay on for too long. plus they covered "**** the Border" by Propagandhi which was flat out killer

I checked out silverstein..they are like pop punk with screaming in it..

dunno about a day to remember or DWP

devil wears prada is ok IMO but they're fun to watch live
i really dont like silverstien at all
and a day to remember will have all the floorpunchers out in full effect

protest the hero are a really good live act but its up to you

The other bands all suck but don't not see Protest because of it. It's not like they're happy about this tour, I mean, really.

Guess no one's gotten in touch with you yet? I havent talked to anyone in a few days so I don't think they've really had much access to the internet.

so its safe to say they hate being on that tour as well?

that's exactly what he just said.
