So ive been kinda going through some life changes, and haven't found anything I could get into. So now, today, I found this band. I dont know if it's the haunting ambiance, or the progressive meatyness, but this has got my full attention. The vocals are super solid, killer guitar, and ambiance and melody for days all while being punishingly heavy. Such an amazing find haha, with so little likes on facebook. This album is free, but is worth so much more than that. Download this, give em a like on Facebook, and enjoy..

Absolutely DEMOLISHING deathcore with some progressive/electronic touches, punishing blasts, and sledgehammer-heavy breakdowns EVERYWHERE. For fans of whitechapel, your pain is endearing, all shall perish, as blood runs black, and many, many more.

Been following this band for a long time, and after years of work/waiting, they've dropped an album that’ll be making an appearance on my year-end list for 2014, although technically it did come out in 2013.  "Anthropocene" is a truly vast, epic concept album with a lyrical expanse to rival that of BTBAM’s “Future Sequence”.  Buy this album!  I definitely had to.

Here’s one review, courtesy of one of the buyers on Bandcamp:  “This is so utterly beautiful in every possible way it managed to bring tears to my eyes.  And that does say something. Can't guarantee the same feelings for everyone but everyone should at least try this.Favorite track: The Singularity - Cosmists II (Kento Watanabe).”
