Well first of all…. I just want to say that you guys become one of my absolute favorite metal bands VERY quickly and II (2) is honest to goodness my favorite album that I have ever listened to. It is a perfect masterpiece of rhythmic melodic and harmonic mastery that I have not heard in any other album.
Your style of playing metal combines everything I love about my favorite sub genres of metal: Insane groove of groove metal, symphonic elements of symphonic metal and the very progressive song structure/melodies/chord progressions of progressive metal.
And since you guys have such a cinematic approach to metal… I would have to describe you as…..
John Williams Metal!!!
LOL but no, seriously… Orchestral Progressive Djent Metal?… thats just a fucking mouthful don’t you guys think?

So honestly my genre-ization for you guys is simply this: Extreme Metal.

Of course it doesn’t encompass all of the AMAZING elements of your sound, but its the most effective way to genre-ize you in my opinion. While of course the metal textbook definition of extreme metal is black metal, thrash metal and death metal… to me its its own genre characterized by “Extreme”-ly vehement screamed (Inbetween growling and shrieking without sounding like metal core vocals) or “scream-sung” vocals, Massive colossal guitar tone and complex time signatures/polyrhythms. Meshuggah, you guys, Gojira, Strapping Young Lad, and Hybrid (another under known but amazing band from Spain) all fit in this genre.

Don’t stop making amazing music you guys! I can’t wait for III and a US tour

Just found you guys. Great stuff, really. I’m a huge Devin Townsend fan and I was fiddling around YT and bam The Call To Arms…wow. Can you release the tabs for that song?

Brilliant amalgamation of two different forms of music. Extremely happy to see Vogg and Vitek, cited as influences. It is an aural pleasure to listen to the albums.

Xerath is a very special band. On their first album I. They manage to produce some massive songs and sounds and this has only been improved with the new album. Its also great to hear how Richard has morphed his vocal sound almost into a agressive Devin Townsend sound wich is great.
If you can’t appreciate their musicianship and determanation you frankly can fuck off. The atmosphere they are able to create leaves you speechless and thinkin: Damn, i need to get my shit together guitarwise. I bet it is the same for drummers and bass players out there who are fans of this genre. Maybe its a musiciansband But that really doesn’t matter. Xerath is primarily very heavy, very groovy and very in your face!
Guys. The best of luck with the ongoing writingprocess, studio and upcoming tours!
