Well I agree their style and sound is original in the sense, I find it hard trying to distinguish exactly what other bands they are most influenced by.
A friend of mine from the San Antonio area said they reminded him of Tool. And I can hear that myself after he mentioned it. Espeacially in the drums and bassline.
One thing that is easy to miss out on is the amount of raw energy these guys project with their live stage show. I watched the drummer sitting at his drum set for an hour before the show even started. Just watching the audience and anticapating the show.
Should also give mention to the fact that the lead singer was originally their drummer. And somewhere down the line obviously moved to front man.
