I just found out about these guys today and I've listened to the album 6 times already.
Fucking absolutely amazing.
I guess they'd be labeled as metal/thrash/post hardcore/awesome.
They have an album out now called Kezia, it's a concept album about a girl facing her execution. From wikipedia "Kezia is a 'situational requiem', similar to a concept album in that it tells a story. It is an elegy of the young woman Kezia's execution, chronicled in the perspective of three characters: The Prison Priest (first 3 songs), The Prison Guard/Gunman (Next 3), and Kezia herself (Next 3). Each character is designated a section containing three songs, with a single retrospective finale concluding the album. The three characters represent an aspect of the bandmembers themselves, endowing artistic fingerprints to a deeply personal album."
I'm pissed that I'm getting into them so late because they've toured with Silverstein, the Fall of Troy, and Coheed & Cambria.
A friend of mine told me they're all 18/19, wrote the album out 2 years ago way over their abilities as a band at that time and then worked their ass off until they could play everything. That's what bands these days need, some fucking dedication like that.

If you're already a fan, they're currently recording their new album.
