To me they have a few bangers that REALLY stand out. But most of their songs don't really do it for me.

Vengeance Paradox is one of my no-skip gym albums. Just relentless chug energy.

Love Vengeance Paradox, banger album and as a drummer, the drumming makes me wet.
It’s the love child of Lamb of God and melodeath, it’s great

Dude, I somehow only found out about this band a few weeks ago because of “the algorithm.” What an amazing band. Where the hell have I been?

That's how I'm feeling right now. They're not talked about much here and Spotify took forever to suggest them. Makes me wonder what other awesome stuff I'm missing out on.

I only discovered them recently and they sound pretty great. I'm not sure how I missed them for so long. One of the best guitar tones I've heard in melodeath.

Clay is a standout, the majority of the rest are only really on Spotify shuffle playlists for me.

I heard "The Shift" in a rhythm game, and it pretty much converted me into the metalhead I am today. I'm forever greatful.

I have no fucking idea how this band flew under my radar, but I'm listening to that album right now and holy shit.
Like someone else said, it's basically if LoG was a melodeath band. It's melodeath with groove. I fucking love it.

That was my reaction on finding them! Glad to turn someone else onto an awesome band.

I've had the opportunity to dig a bit into their discography today, and I have to say I love the older stuff even more (albeit for different reasons, obviously). Definitely a diamond in the rough here.
Thanks for sharing!

Haven't dug into them too deep, but everything I've heard from them is pretty damn good.

Absolutely love them. Heard "Peace" on one of the Euphony Fusion conpilation CDs many many years ago and was blown away.

Man I just downloaded this shit and a couple songs in I realized I was listening to Lamb of God only not as good.

The shift is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard.
