Anyone else know these guys? Unbelievably fucking awesome.

Progressive heavy/death metal from France. If you like Opeth, definitely check these furious dudes out.

^ Start by listening to the track called "Backbone" and get ready to be crushed.

    I have From Mars to Sirius and I love it. If they weren't the first band on a triple bill this Tuesday, I'd probably check 'em out live. I'll be picking up their newest shortly.

    I bought Gojira's 'The Way of all Flesh' a few weeks ago and loooved it. I'll be looking to get their others. Along with Meshuggah, I had no idea that drumming could be so complex.. They make the bass drum sound like an instrument all of its own.

    Awesome.

    From Mars to Sirius is definitely my favorite album. New album is pretty damn solid too.
