a band formed in lancaster, pa with my favorite drummer in the world, matt greiner. they feature guitar riffs in insane time signatures, such as 13/4, 7/8, and 5/4, with insanely fast syncopated drumming. jake luhrs, the vocalist, has a voice that made my b-lls drop.

not only are they an amazing band, but they also are great guys. i talked to them for 20 minutes before their concert, and they were funny, awesome guys. not to mention, they’re all devout christians. 🙂

a lot of their lyrics are mainly christian, and their playing style is mainly technical, with a lot of breakdowns during songs.
vocals are mostly growls and screams, along with a few clean singing. sorta hard to understand really.
