Alright so I don't post much anymore here but I just rediscovered this incredible band.
Their first album, "Solace", IMO is an absolute masterpiece of BM. It's extremely unique while staying true to the roots.
In fact, it's the only BM album I could truly call "perfect". But that's just my tastes.
I want to hear what you guys think, just out of curiosity. I think they were largely overlooked because they are through and through a "Christian" band, the lyrics often focus on biblical teachings or are direct quotes from scripture. But FEAR NOT! They are incredible song writers and though they are Christian they are not out to spew boring "Jesus is my boyfriend" lyrics like the pop rock Christian garbage out there you hear on the radio. They are there for the music.
Just listen to these three songs and tell me what you think, I'm really curious to know what other metal fans think (the first song is also on their myspace and I suggest you listen to it there because it's better quality):

But stay FAR AWAY from their later albums... they completely changed their style and suck horribly.
EDIT: And yes obviously I'm a huge fanboy since my sig and avatar are both them
. I love Primordial too, probably my favorite metal band, but they are much more well known than these guys, so that's why I have them in my sig+ava)
