This band is severely underrated, their musicianship and lyrics are fucking beautiful... and their vocalist has some crazy range and sounds very unique. The album that got me into this band entitled 'Fables from a Mayfly' was a work of art, I loved every song on that album and i thought it impossible for them to ever do better. Their newest album, proved me wrong. 'Arrows and Anchors'... I have no words to describe this album... Never before have i listened to such a solid album, i literally enjoyed every part of every song. Check them out if you are interested, and if you've heard of em, gimme your opinions on their new album.
