probably the best metal album released last year. aynone familiar with their first album, 2006's arrangements for fulminating vective, knows the penchant this band has for technical, progressive, experimental metalcore. with fea jur, they toss aside quite a bit of their -core tendencies and focus a lot on their ridiculous chops and instrumental interplay, sounding almost like some amazingtechnical jazz-fusion/-rock group, like arcana (only heavier, intense, and even more technical!). i'd even go so far as to say that this album sounds like some amazing mixture of gordian knot (the atmosphere and songwriting, while having a top-notch prog/fusion aesthetic) and yowie (super-tight, super-technical muscianship). this album is a trip, and one of the best i've heard in this style of music. 2009.
