I got The Painter's Pallate, great stuff. Finally, a metal/jazz combo with some cohesion. I'd check that CD out first, from what I've gathered the older stuff isn't as good. But that doesn't mean you might not like it.

 

[Halfkakkende]

Old stuff is good too....If you like The Kovenant. It's blackmetal/electronic stuff..

But imo The Painters Palette is just better.

 

[R.I.P.2]

The Painter's Palette, go for it.

 

[Rusty]

Heh, maybe I'm the only one who prefers the older stuff. IMO RePhormula is much better than The Painter's Palette.

 

[futile]

I'd start with the Painters pallete

 

[ucsbdude]

Checked them out, not for me.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

They're fucking great. The older stuff is more black metal.. I fucking love the Painter's Pallete. Soooo good. Best metal album in a long time

 

[Demonspell]

The Painter's Palette will fuck with your head...and leave you speechless at the insane musicianship.

 

[jester00]

i better go off and try some

 

[hibernal_dream]

Heh, maybe I'm the only one who prefers the older stuff. IMO RePhormula is much better than The Painter's Palette.

No, you're not the only one. But i don't mind the change of styles, they're original either way.

 

[mindflesh]

The Painter's Palette is great if you're in the mood for "brain-music". And it has some surprisingly catchy melodies, too - very recommended.

 

[Dvoters]

Right, after much consideration, I have ordered Painters Palette

Cheers guys

I love the music, but the vocals are freaking crap.

 

[DrX]

I won a promo of the Painter's Palette on ebay I sonce I got I have listened to little else. The Hard vocals are a little annoying, but the clean ones are decent. It really seems more like jazz than anything else to me. And the drum and bass are really amazing.

I like them, and I like the Painter's pallete, but I think anyone would have to admit that there are some points on that album that are very awkward to listen to... some melodies which are a touch too 'boppy' or 'upbeat' and stick out a bit like a sore thumb.... Mind you I suppose that's half the style, having completely off-kilter stuff thrown in even though it might be jarringly different.

That and while I do like the idea of clean and harsh vocals I simply don't think the clean vocalist is particularly good, and his melodies are the ones that are most frequently those "really-really-out-of-place" ones that I'm talking about above.

Again I suppose it's a stylistic thing but yes, to me some of it is a bit awkward. Still gets two incredibly enthusiastic thumbs up from me.
