Fun Fact: This band is down to earth, always speaking to their fans, and an incredible mix of heavy and melodic.  Their full length will drop jaws.
 
 Thanks to Alternative Press I managed to find these guys.  After reading the short snippet about them I when to the web to find some audio.  Immediately I was hooked.  There isn't to much available that in the way of their most recent music aside from what is on Last.fm and Youtube.  As I understand they've had quite a few lineup changes which is somewhat common these days.  I was able to find their [what I think to be first CD] Self Portrait As A Frozen Father.  The difference between that album and their recently released tracks is a major improvement.  The sound is more crisp, emotional, and raw.  The three newer songs which were released somewhat recently also incorporate a great deal more screamed vocals which were nearly absent on their prior album.  With these songs as a teaser, expectations, at least mine will be high for the bands first full length LP.  Myka has the talent and they don't overuse the electronic production and synth.  What comes forth is a decent mix of music that combines elements from across the genre's board, to create something that stands out.  Most likely you will be singing along and looking forward to what comes next from them!
