Greetings.
Although I don't know a lot of those bands, I'll go for the one I've heard most but really don't like : CoB
EToS, by the way, I think is great. Strange to say, but it's... catchy. CRAPPY band name though ; if I were them, I'd reconsider another name. I bought Chaotic Beauty two weeks ago, though, and even if they're good, I don't think they'll be in my top 25 ever. Oh well. At least they're entertaining.
I bought The Dreadful Hours today, can't wait to listen to it, after all the hype. Hope you were all right about it's quality...
