That song was fucking sick. Love the slap guitar verses, and you guys can write a really great chorus. When's the album due out?
Orion....that's the one with a bunch of power chords and boringly harsh vocals, isn't it?
LOOK AT THIS AWESOME SHIT AHHHHHH

Thanks man! We're recording it at the moment (Dan Tompkins is producing the vocals and doing a guest spot :D) and we hope to have it out mid next year, but in the meantime some new songs from it will be coming out in due course, including a new one next month!

Holy glob! I love you guys, to think you post here!
The Reanimation EP is one of my favorite releases of 2011, and Beneath the Waves is one of the best songs ever  :metal

Don't have time to check out now, but will do later in the day. Your reanimation EP was awesome and the first new song was also great. Can't wait. Cheers!

EDIT : Hey, Rocket, did you change your bass player?

We're working on it! We went through some personal difficulties last year which delayed the album's completion a lot, and now we're talking to some labels and figuring out the best strategy for releasing the album. We've put blood, sweat and tears in to this album and been through a lot of shit in 2013, and we're not going to blow it by just throwing the album up online with no build-up. It'll be out in the coming months for sure!

Someone at 5/8 mentioned awhile ago that the drums on Reanimation were programmed. Is this true, cause if so, whoever programmed them is a god at drum programming.

Thanks so much :)

Yeah Ross (our drummer) is both a top notch drummer and a qualified sound engineer. He's honed his skills at programming and mixing the drums to sound as accurate as possible to how he actually performs the stuff. I guess what's crucial is, he actually plays the stuff at practise and then programmes the drums to reflect how he actually pulls it off. It's a combination of both myself and him who actually write the drum parts.

He did do live drums on the release of 'Saviours', but everything else is programmed. As soon as we can afford to do live drums on releases though, we will. As you can see from the video he's more than capable!

I've just listened to 'The End and the Rebirth' and although I'm not really a fan of Djent rhythms, I thought that it was very nice. The vocals are great; they kind of remind me of Circus Maximus.

Actually, I'm listening to 'Saviours' right now, and this is quite fantastic. I hope this band gets some more recognition when the debut comes out.
