i wouldnt say theyre a better band, but more innovative and talented.
i like them both about the same though.

i didn't really mean it as a diss or anything but there's no way a new metal band that chooses to start their name with 'Behold' is not going to get the comparison hehehe.

wait, so how is that possible? They are more talented and innovative, but not a better band? That's a contradiction, no?

better is a subjective term,
music isnt all about technicality and being different, though those are both great things. its also about feeling, groove, style.
i personally like different things about each band, one more for the groove and style and one more for the technicality/innovation.

nah, i didnt take it as a diss... and of course a comparison was completely appropriate in such circumstances
