Anyone else know these guys? Unbelievably fucking awesome.

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

    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.

    flo from cyptopsy has some crazy drumming too.

    I have not checked out gojira yet but they are on my list to look into.

    From Mars to Sirius is an incredibly punishing album. Seeing them open for Deftones in May, cannot wait.
