If you want to know some good songs by them then just let me know... My Favourite is easily 'Iter Impius Martignea, Son Of Mars Obitus Diutinus' (a very pretentious sounding album it comes from in BE). But I don't think they are pretentious at all to be perfectly honest, they even goof around and make jokes taking the piss out of themselves sometimes.

Without checking if "Remedy Lane" is their 4th album, its defiantely next up on my listening list. Greatly enjoyed "The Perfect Element" and definately their best so far.

Its amazing just how many great metal groups Sweden has produced in the last 15 years or so: Pain of Salvation, At The Gates, Meshuggah, Opeth and Evergrey all quickly come to mind.
