to be honest, Born of Osiris, Whitechapel, Veil of Maya... I love these bands, and I know we all love death core (in Nekrogoblikon). That being said, Stench is still goblin metal. We will always play goblin metal. If I had to slice it up, I'd say we sound like In Flames, Bodom, Stratovarius, Sonata Arctica, Black Dahlia Murder, Born of Osiris, tiny bit of Finntroll, Maiden, some more proggy stuff, and then just us.
it's a pretty refreshing combination though.
And sorry the album is taking so fuckin' long. We're all full time students/workers so it's tough. Hopefully somebody with tons of money will hear this release, love it, and pay us to do it. Then we could be a "real" band who doesn't have to patch together an album over hella time.
Until then though, this breed of metal will still give you a unique fix.
