Yes, they are more melodic than your average death/black metal band(ie: Behemoth), but I like to think of it as death metal with a melody. That was the 1st song I ever heard, and it's probably my favorite, along with "Seven Whispers Fell Silent" and "Face of my Innocence". Don't you just love that thrashyness?
That is their only album, but there are 2 demos floating around featuring 4 or 5 unreleased songs and a few of the songs from the album, which sound interestingly different than the new recordings(the quality is superb too). If you want it, email/pm me so I can send it to you. I live about 2 hours from Virginia, hopefully they'll do another tour soon nearby.

Pretty meh, I'd say.
