You can definitely hear Rook's influences in his playing. But, he's totally developed his own style with it. Very fun to listen to. Great to hear something difference, original and awesome!

I sense Meshuggah and Animals As Leaders influences all over the place, and I dig it. Hard. The influences are there, but it doesn't sound like an imitation of them at all, sounds very unique tone wise.
Seriously, this is amazing work. Everything feels very balanced and very well executed. ....ing fantastic job with this, it's easy to tell you enjoyed writing and playing this stuff, it really shows.
Right around the 3:05 mark in Everything is Mostly Nothing Part 1 is one of my favourite parts of the entire ep. And Part 2 is equally as amazing. The intro is just perfect, and the snare tone in it is one of my favourites I've heard in a while.
Keep this up man.
Once I get online purchase capabilities I'll be sure to buy it.
Kudos. Can't wait to hear more of your stuff.

HOLY SHIT this rules so hard. Seriously even better than I hoped, and I thought it'd be pretty great to start. Some of the low notes like in Is and EIMN Pt. 2 had me grinning like an idiot. This is definitely very well executed, unique, and VERY inspiring. The second I finished listening I wanted to go grab my guitar and attempt to make something even a fraction as interesting.
Keep it up man, I eagerly look forward to the next release!

dude, f-ucking amazing. I love it. great work.
edit:
I love how everything flows so well together and there's just a perfect amount of everything. the C# is heavy as .... too, I love that part; and how the little groove at the beginning is used throughout the tracks. my favourite track would have to be everything is mostly nothing part 1.

You guys!
I absolutely love that you guys are picking up on the stuff that I was really thinking about when writing this, it's totally awesome.
For the lows my Regius 8 was tuned to drop E, one set of low C's (they're C's, not C#'s, just remembered playing it yesterday) I used the Axe FX 2 pitch shifter as the first thing in my chain and played it live and just pressed bypassed and un-bypassed my pitch shifter using my floor pedal. The other set of C's (I honestly can't remember which!) is my Regius 8 physically tuned down 2 whole tones on the bottom two strings. I'll let you guys decided which one is which
Nobody's noticed what I thought was a blatant *nod* in the music yet, it's not musical though so I guess you wouldn't really.
Anyway, keep adding me folks, I've had an awesome time meeting loads of new people and talking and hearing people's music and stuff. Compared to the rest of the world it really isn't much but this is living the dream for me hahaha.
Thanks! And keep sharing!

Pretty good, I normally despise djent and proggy music, but this is awesome.

has the groove.
Great work dude, it's always nice to see more people releasing their own stuff. I'm getting a sort of Animals as Leaders crossed with Muse vibe from some of the tracks, which can never be a bad thing. The thematic continuity is cool as well and is something I like to hear. Looking forward to hearing more from you man!

Just got done listening to the E.P. and you never cease to amaze me. Been a fan of yours since the first time I heard this. https://soundcloud.com/itherook/newer-faart
Keep up the good work man, you're going places.

Dude! That's so cool, I remember writing and recording that, I think I've come a hell of a long way since. Thanks for sticking with me, I'm really glad it lived up to your expectations!
Cheers for the kind words
As for the drum mix, I went a little out there on that one; I find really roomy, imperfect sounding drums are pretty rare these days in heavier styles but I personally love it and kinda took it a little further than stuff I've heard. It was always going to be a talking point and in all honesty I didn't really expect anyone to receive any of my stuff well let alone getting as far as 'everything but the drums' or similar.
I appreciate you taking the time, thank you all

The problem is not with the drum sound, it's with the overall mix. Try listening to it in a treated room or on proper headphones and you will hear what everyone is talking about in an instant.
It's not about the mix aesthetics as you believe it to be, it just does not translate from a device to another and at times it's quite muddy and convoluted.
Btw I crossposted this to /r/djent and someone pointed out something quite funny, that there's a band called Rooks with an E.P called Infinite, out there.
