Yes, they're a very heavy, progressive version of Nevermore, I'd say. Both albums are awesome!!

I'd say it's a toss up between Candlemass and Communic.

Listen to this Communic song: UNDER A LUMINOUS SKY

That band, I think, is one of the most overrated bands ever. I think they're horrible.

That's a pretty sweet song. How come they only got a 70/100 on the review of their 2005 CD?

After hearing that, I'd say either the Communic or In Flames, since Clayman is one of my favorite CD's. But, I dunno, it's your choice.

The only ones I've heard are In Flames and Candlemass, both of which are decent but not great. The Communic one might be worth hearing too but I've only heard Waves of Visual Decay so I can't say anything definite.

That's not a collective MR opinion, just one person.

Yup. :cool:... although I can see why Eyesore doesn't like them. I totally missed these two posts :P

Catch 33 is good, really strange though since in parts they'll repeat a riff for 2 minutes, and in others start changing ideas really fast. Also like 15 of the 45 minutes are spacy ambience. I really wouldn't recommend it unless you've heard either their EP "I" or the Nothing album and liked them.

But in real life, that Candlemass s/t is pretty awesome cool.
