This is a mix of technical death metal, soft rock, and random bits of other genres like blues and country.

Sound like a mess?

It is.

The death metal parts are not melodic. The riffs are atonal, chugging, jagged, and unmemorable. They are played well, but most of it is not very musical. The bass tone is too high for my taste and the drumming, though fast and "metal", is unremarkable and sorely lacking a sense of groove.

The songs usually get all soft and moody with the occasional backing keys. While these parts are melodic, they are usually really lame.

On the whole, the songs are long, filled with notes, and not catchy (except for the moody soft rock parts). The technicality is forced. The music is only progressive because it changes a lot. Only the last song was somewhat decent, but it was too forced.

Once these guys stop trying to impress everybody by making "complex" music and focus on melody and groove, they will take metal by storm.
