...and it's not what you think it is.

Seriously, if there was justice, Sacha's project would be getting massive attention just like Bulb's is - great music *and* great vocals. May well be the best disc released this year.

A couple weeks back when you dug this up, I thought I should burn all my guitars. Yep, nothing has changed. It's as if the singer from Disturbed decided to go join a real band.

Yeah, this is totally awesome. Long time coming, too. It's like Ron Jarzombek showing up to do a master class for Djenters.

I'm not usually a fan of this kind of music, but that sounds pretty damn good!

Too much focus leads to tunnel vision
Too much faith leads to religion
Too much knowledge leads to confusion
Too many guitar lessons lead to jazz-fusion

That's the best description I've heard.

This is cool, but it sounds, to me, way more like Dream Theater with blasting than anything else mentioned in this thread And I don't hear even a little bit of "djent" in there (not that I'm a djent connoisseur or anything).

Not to start a debate, or anything, but while this is really good, it feels like something I've heard before, and the songs don't stick in my head at all.

Vocals are pretty sweet, though. Sounds like Devin Townsend in some of his pitched screams (the fact that I can't do that is the main reason I'll never be a metal vocalist ).

Okay yeah, this is awesome. I can definitely hear some Ron Jarzombek influence here.

Thats cause it's awesome. I have a CD from his main band, Divinity, and it kicks ass, too. \m/
