So here it is, my first post. And what would be a better first post than the band that got me into skram. In 2008 I was but a naive teen who thought that deathcore was a legitimate style of music. I was at A Textbook Tragedy's show with Fear Before in Edmonton and this band was opening. I was already aware of the band, most of the members having been in other local bands I loved. I wasn't sure what to expect, as I was new to the genre, and screamo/emo to me meant Underoath or From First to Last (Neither of which I liked). When they started playing I realized my preconceived notions were very wrong, and I was instantly hooked. The soft melodic sections, the loud frantic parts, and vocals
drenched with emotion which I had never heard in music before that day left me wondering where this music had been all my life. Still my favorite emo/skram album of all time. This band is dead, but the members now play in, GOBBLE GOBBLE, Book of Caverns, and Crippled Children, who you should listen to and support if you like this band. OK I'm done. Sorry for the rant.
