A Chicago band that started with technical metalcore and gradually shifted toward more melodic, progressive territory.
For their earlier technical metalcore sound, check out 'Your World of Lies.' For their more melodic, progressive side, 'Teleute' gives a good sense of where they've moved.
They've built a following through consistent touring and recording since 2004, with songs like 'Citadel' showing their blend of complex guitar work and heavy rhythms. Their music often touches on introspective themes while maintaining a core audience interested in their evolving approach to heavy music.
Formed in Chicago in 2004 with an original lineup that included vocalist Brandon Butler. They started with a debut EP called 'All Things Set Aside' in 2006, then released albums like 'The Common Man's Collapse' in 2008 and '[id]' in 2010. The band's sound has shifted over time, moving from technical metalcore toward more progressive and melodic territory on later albums like 'Eclipse' in 2012 and 'Matriarch' in 2019.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
