Been meaning to check them out. Bruce played a killer sax solo on Sigh's Gallows Gallery. Neurosis stuff with saxophones if I'm not mistaken.

I guess you can say that. They're a bit more faster than the _Big N_, and more oriental sounding in some songs (judging from what I'm hearing in Samsara, at least. I haven't heard their first or third albums yet).

Yeah I've heard of them. Samsara is pretty good, been meaning to listen to their new album but haven't gotten around to it yet... I hope it has more of their psychedelic stoner rock type songs b/c I think I like those more than their aggressive metalcore ones.

I tend to devote my listening time to the non-metalcore-ish songs, but they play both styles equally as well, IMO.

Heard them a while back when Samsara was just out, and didn't like them much, but I'll give 'em another go, I should like this kind of thing.

I am ;)

Nice piece of metal. Although I prefer the atmospheric moments and Slayer worshiping, and not the metalcore sound that they sometimes produce. Rather enjoyable music. Saxophone gives lots of space.
