they're great, reminds me of Arcturus, Opeth and Meshuggah. Lots of melody, atmosphere, variety, progressive, etc....

Damn I keep posting bands here that are hard to describe...

the track "..but a Memory" really amazes me. I don't get any Opeth from 'em but definetly plenty of arcturus style post-black.

Oh boy do I feel stupid now

For some reason a few of the riffs remind me of Opeth, as well as his clean vocals. They reminded me of post black at first, but when I thought about it it was mostly just in the production on the guitars, and his yells which aren't used that often.

Totally, I love that song.

I didn't really hear any Opeth either. The vocalist reminded me of the dude from Winds.

I can hear a slight resemblance to Mike Akerfeldt's clean vocals, but that's it for the similarities between the two bands.

Order anything from the End records? I think I found them on a compilation I got from them.

There's an article on this band in a magazine I got in the mail... I'm going to read it if the band is regarded so well.

That's exactly what I thought, and I find both Frantic Bleep and Winds enjoyable, just not as much as Garm era Arcturus.

Agreed, but I like very few things as much as Garm period Arcturus. I don't really like comparing Frantic Bleep to them, they give me a completely different feeling than Arcturus. But it's plain to see why Arcturus' name pops up a lot whenever there is a weird metal band to be spoken of.
