So I can't stop listening to this band at the moment.
Parama should really be writing this as I know he is a bigger fan than I am. He introduced them to me, during my roulette, via the song
Cotard and, although I didn't totally love it, I still checked out the album, Holon: Agnosie. I'm so glad I did as the album is so good. My favourite song from this album is probably
Athesie (I could only find a live version on youtube) but honestly, it's all great.
They are quite difficult to describe but I'll give it a go. They are a German three piece (who sing in German). Their style can be described as progressive metal/post-rock/post-hardcore/mathcore. They draw influences from bands such as The Dillinger Escape Plan. They mix in classical elements to their music along with a host of other things.
So after hearing their third full length I got their new album, The Eskapist. This will likely end up in my top 5 albums of this year as it is pretty awesome. I don't know where to start with recommending songs off this but possibly something like
Xenophotopia.
In the last few days I've downloaded their other full length albums (Holon: Anamnesis and Holon: Hiberno) and after one listen of each I can say that I don't think these guys are able to release a bad album! Holon: Anamnesis was easily my favourite after one listen of each but I can't wait to really digest them. If I had to link one more song of theirs I'd go with
Mara. This song stood out on first listen.
Really great band and if you don't mind your progressive metal on the extreme side then I'd definitely say check them out. Are there any other fans here on DTF?
Cue Parama...
