Now here's a band that's very much an acquired taste. I suspect that it might not appeal to most people here for different reasons. And yes, they wear masks and that's probably something that turns people off since it may be viewed as just another gimmick. I'm personally drawn to people that embellish their appearance in a non-typical way. Of course it's not the first time that it's been done before but to be honest, almost everything imaginable in music has already been done in various forms. The key now is to work off of pre-existing concepts and attempt to build from it in a way that bears some semblance to originality of expression. This band is pretty heavy but definitely not the heaviest of what I listen too. They've had several albums, their earliest ones were good but they continue to improve with each new one in my opinion. The latest, Subliminal Verses is my current favorite, I can listen to it over and over again. I feel it's the best rock album to come out in a long time. It has serious staying power and longevity to me in its replay value. I feel that they've really grown as a band and have fine tuned their skills on a whole new level.
