I've been listening to their debut s/t recently (whilst driving actually, heh) and it's not bad, but not quite as good as I once thought it was. Tracks #3 (Token of Time) and #5 (Old Man) are fucking cool, however. I have to admit, it's all very 'happy' sounding, so some of you naturally won't like it.

Has anyone heard their new album? It took so friggin' long to come out, I'm almost scared to think 'too little too late', like I can't be arsed if it's just the debut part 2. Anyway, correct me if I'm wrong - does their new one get a thumbs up?

I didn't know they had a new one. I thought it was that $8 3-song EP thing.

The debut is good for what it is. Folky power melo-death. I enjoy it a lot more than Suidakra. It is happy sounding, and I don't play it often at all, but it holds a special place in my collection for times when I need a little pep in my step.

Yeah the new one is called Iron.

I still like the old singer better.

i've listened to some songs from the new one, the first three i think, and one of them had some horrible falsetto wailing that really turned me off :[
i enojoyed the first one, but it seems i've got the same relationship to it as J; not something i listed to very often but really enjoyable when you're in the mood for some upbeat happy happy stuff
