Music Banter - View Single Post - Looking for similarity to Fall of Troy&Tool

I know 30 Years War is associated with Fall of Troy, but otherwise I've been looking and having trouble. Alot of the recommendations on last fm seem very far off, at least to me anyway. The closest I could find was Dance Gavin Dance (Whatever I say is Royal Ocean album is very good). Fall of Troy's self titled album has been the biggest find for me in a good year or so.

Honestly, though, I've always put Tool first, but looking for their power+intelligence has brought me to this genre which I seem to like. The closest I could find to Tool was Karnivool (Persona, particularly) and Isis. But Tool is on it's own, it's not possible to find something similar, I've given up on that quite a while ago. Stuff like Mudvayne is a ok attempt at imitation, but I actually cannot bring myself to like them.

Any suggestions?
