Hmm, I get more of a Lamb of God vibe overall cuz of the 6/8 riffing (not a good thing), but the sweeps and leads do smack of Nevermore as well, which definitely is a good thing. And the production, hot damn - I love how middy and organic the guitar tone is, what was the guitar/amp/cab/mic(s) Dave, if you don't mind me asking?
Ooh, the lick at 2:50 is SUPER Nevermore influenced - fucking awesome, and I like the groove change & solos after it. One guitarist or two? And now that I'm listening, I feel the solos might have just a bit too much mids, which slightly obscures the bite of the notes, but it's a minor quip.
Listening to "Cower Before Me" now - this one's also cool; I really like how the drummer occasionally is doing blast beats on the snare/kick but a sparse pattern on the ride (under the beginning of the first solo, for example); I've never heard that kind of blast/cymbal juxtaposition before.

That intro does bleed a tad of LOG, but I won't hold that against them haha. This band is really cool though , I wanna know who did that artwork too. It's pretty cool.

If you want my honest opinion, i think it sounds slick and polished, but the drums are very stale due to the obvious dry-sample replaced sound.
The first part at 2:40 is just doubled and split L & R with a little flange. The next riff starts out in the center then I had him layer the second half an octave higher. I doubled the higher line (copy paste doubled, not 2 takes) and split them L & R, moved the left copy back 10ms and the right copy ahead 10ms. I use that trick all the time, mostly for vocals. I also had him give me the first note of the higher line and sustain it out with a little vibrato. Took that and flipped it backwards to fade into the octave part, again with the same stereo trick. Kinda sounds a little like feedback, I like it.
Guitars are 2 track 6505 and 2 tracks Mesa DR into a Mesa oversized > 57 > Spider > DAW. I used more of the 6505 than the Mesa which is a first for me. I think I might actually like my Peavey more than my Dual Rec now which is weird for me to say. I tried to leave the low mids intact as much as possible. I use MB compression very sparingly and kept my cuts down there on the conservative side.
I can understand the few "dry drums" comments. I dig the sound and think it fits well with the music / mix, but it would sound good a little more live as well. I actually haven't benn using much verb lately. I can't remember the last time I used verb on toms.

They showed me the guy's site but I can't remember the name. I'll see if I can get someone from the band to chime in here.
