FOR FANS OF LED ZEPPELIN, UNSANE, BARONESS, MASTODON, THIN LIZZY, TOOL

Dude, listen to those classic riffs/guitarwork and that guitar tone....THAT TONE. It's a great melding of various good genres. I dig the fuck out of it.

I can see ppl being turned off by the vocals I guess. I enjoy the contrast although he could switch it up a bit sometimes.

For anyone interested, the entire album is streaming here: http://www.metalsucks.net/2012/10/22/exclusive-album-stream-familys-portrait/

i see why you like it but it sounds like pretentious confused cacophony to me with a tinge of Mastodon, a band has stayed on way too long, and has not taken Ralph Santola's advice.
 
Here's some USBM from New York that is reminiscent of DsO in a way. Pretty good shit if you ask me!!!

i'll have to check this out ...



i trust this guy at the boards but not a big fan of his own bands

Why? What else has he mixed and mastered? I love the way the recording sounds. It's very organic and and you can hear every instrument clearly; great separation of instruments. The audible bass lines are great.

What bands is he in?
