Any love for these guys?

They're kind of a mix of trance and metal. Epic!

I don't mind them. I've got Reckless and Relentless and Stand Up and Scream.

Stand Up and Scream is probably the one I prefer over the two, plus it's the first album I heard from them that would help me form a decent opinion about them. It's more of an interesting mix of electronica and screamo, which isn't bad, considering they do it in a very subtle way that seems to work very well.

I only got into them after hearing Reckless & Relentless,

I didn't know too much about them before, but I'm glad I've been able to listen to them because I've been looking back at their older albums

They've got a very good sound. They only have one older album, so there isn't too much to catch up on.

I like how they incorporate synths into their music. It's not common in a lot of metalcore bands.
I particularly like Stand Up And Scream, and their song 'The Final Episode' is banging.



Along with BMTH, they're another band whom I feel get a hard time and are looked down upon because the majority of their fans are major douchebags.

^The Final Episode is so amazing. I love the instrumental track they have on Stand Up and Scream as well:



I just wish it was a minute or so longer.

LOL!

I love the incorporated synth in metal music, to me it really shows that a band can try new things and incorporate different genres into each other.
