I was wondering about this band. As far as I've heard, this is dark and heavy neo-prog with some gothic moments. Is this true? Can anyone give me any info and recommendations for these guys. My tastes revolve around progressive rock/progressive metal. My favourite bands are Yes, Dream Theater, Magellan, Opeth, and Genesis.

What you have heard is basically true. Anekdoten give a mordern spin to early 70s progressive rock with a big emphasis on King Crimson especially. I havent picked up too much on the "gothic" thing you speak off, but perhaps there is..im just not sure what that would be. I have all their albums, and love them a lot...and judging by your influences...so will you...and youre my new best friend. And i wont hold the Dream Theater thing against you. jk

Their earlier stuff sounds more like King Crimson's noisier moments. GRAVITY is my favorite album of theirs, and it's their newest...it sounds less like King Crimson, but there's still a definite influence. I'd compare it to some kind of combo of King Crimson and later Anathema, but some of their songs don't sound anything like either...there's some DOORS-ISH keyboard on a few tracks too (like Ricochet, which is also probably my favorite song of theirs, besides maybe WHAT SHOULD BUT DID NOT DIE).

I have a song or two from them...I intend to get more, or at least buy their albums. beautiful new band.

I have Gravity, it rocks. Some weaker songs on it I have to say but songs like Monolith, the war is over and Seljak makes the album very good!

Great band, equally comfortable with dissonant riffs and melancholy moods, if you're looking for something dark and progressive I'd get either Nucleus or From Within...the other two are also well worth hearing.
