Still the groovyest Monuments
Chris has done a fantastic job and the new album is great, but I will always love this lineup most. I would kill for recorded versions of doxa, empty vessels etc with Neema and Greg.

I miss Greg and Neema so much. I just listened to that set again^ and it's incredible how percussive Neema's voice is. I'm looking for recommendations, who else sounds like that? Aside from Sikth I can't think of anyone.

I finally gave this album a spin and absolutely love it, much like everything before. Horcrux and Origin of Escape are probably my favorites myself.

Saw them last night. The drummer dicked up his hand so they had a substitute, who only had like 3 days to learn everything, resulting in a short set. But what they did play, they killed.

Seeing these guys soon. I have never heard of this band before but I heard they can destroy you live.

I've had The Amanuensis since it came out, but it took till yesterday for me to listen to it a 2nd time, which turned into a 3rd and 4th as well. Not sure why I wasn't all that into it upon first listen. I enjoy it just as much as Gnosis.

Top tracks for me at the moment are I, The Destroyer/Jinn/Quasimodo/Saga City/Horcrux.

The vocals are just ace.

Supposed to see them on the 14th. They missed our date last tour due to a breakdown. Rudinger is the awesome, but I'm still bummed not to see the whole lineup.
That new play through is awesome too!

Where the hell does one find the lyrics for this album? If they come with the iTunes purchase, then they are not available on a phone. Nor are they on the internet. I have an ear for subtle things in the music, but I don't even remotely have a good ear for lyrics.

For those who have been to a show, how much are they selling the new CD for?

The have actually not been released which is quite a shame/dumb because the concept is awesome. I read that Chris plans on releasing a book with the whole story first and then the lyrics. They really should have included them with the cd though.

Well that's... interesting. And lame. Release a book, sure, it definitely sounds like a cool story (bro?), but yeah the lyrics should've been with the album.

Always wonder this about other metal fans. I usually pick up cleans/choruses but without reading them, most lyrics are just additional ...sounds to me.

He's been in a bunch of the videos from this tour.


EDIT: Just saw his facebook. I wonder if his ID/passport was stolen?
