Yes, this looks interesting. I used to adore TMV but hadn't listened to them in a while. Popped in Deloused the other day and it's still amazing.

[mf]

didn't see this thread before i posted in the TMV one but this was my initial thought

i like what i'm hearing so far. it's hard to pin down what they're going to sound like from just a few clips, but it has the feeling of being more straightforward rock than TMV.

[Heathen]

eeeh

[mf]

not bad. i'm pleased to hear that Cedric isn't singing in that ultra-falsetto he was using on the last couple TMV records.

[Will]

Awesome. That sounds so much more rock n' roll than I would've expected, and Cedric sounds so goofy. Who knew?

Elitch is a beast.

[clavian]

A little more melodic than I'd expect from Cedric & Omar, but it's hot shit none the less.

[mf]

they're really exploding out of the gate with the promotion on this one. this new songs is fucking great.

Le Butcherettes are good. Saw 'em about two years ago. Excellent drummer.

[LoathedVermin72]

The full album is sounding pretty damn killer from what I've listened to so far. "I Got No Remorse" =

[LoathedVermin72]

"Memento Mori" and "Providence"...wow.

Even though I'm (apparently) in the minority that thought Noctourniquet was great, I'm glad they left TMV and started this, 'cause they have a newfound passion and energy here. Really diggin' it.

[zeb]

Downloaded last night, will listen tonight.

[LoathedVermin72]

I've listened to this a few times now. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this is the best/most exciting music Cedric and Omar have made since De-Loused in the Comatorium.

[Heathen]

god this is garbage

[zeb]

Seems like an even spread of opinion across those last two posts.

[LoathedVermin72]

"Momento Mori" sounds very reminiscent of "Roxanne." In a very good way, of course. A lot of the album actually feels pretty heavily classic-rock-influenced; I can hear Rush in "50,000 Kilowatts" and Led Zeppelin in "Drown All Your Witches."

[Birds in Hell]

So I guess I'm seeing these guys in February now.
