Australian alternative/progressive band.

They have a new album out June 5th. Their debut album, Themata, kicked ass, so I'm looking forward to hearing the new stuff.

Here's the video for the first single.

And for those interested, their album Themata:

Cool band. Didn't realise they had a new album out so soon but Themata has been out for 4 years already...

Yeah man, Themata was a great album. I'm glad they're releasing a new album too.

My favorite song from Themata:

I'm quite impressed by the video.
Will try.

theis · May 11, 2009, 06:15 PM

yeah the video is awesome. love the song too...

Slacker · May 11, 2009, 06:32 PM

the video looks expensive

lostpilot · May 11, 2009, 06:44 PM

huh.
this is a bit disappointing.. I thought Themata would be somewhat more experimental/progressive.
but this proven to be quite dull.
there are some nice parts but by the track 4 my attention was totally lost.
the video is from new album, yeah? maybe I should check that out.

theis · May 11, 2009, 06:48 PM

damn man, let it sink in a little. lots of little layers here and there. Roquefort and Themata especially are amazing songs.

oh, and if you find a link for the new album, please post it

it's called "Sound Awake".

i'm going to have to agree. i like the song in the video you posted so i look forward to the new cd. but themata was like 90% boring nu-metal. totally let down.

theis · May 11, 2009, 08:32 PM

nu-metal? what the...

mr.sinister · May 12, 2009, 07:40 PM

That video kicked my ass hard. Loved every second of it. For the first time hearing this band, i am very impressed. I'm going to download Thamata right now!

Another release to add to June. Man June is gonna kick ass.

Hey, these guys are allright. really catchy. I just wonder how long it will stay interesting.

i hear "sol niger within" inspiration in Scarabs. That's in no way a bad thing.

theis · May 21, 2009, 01:22 PM

Yeah, Scarabs immediately got me thinking of Meshuggah.

Crazylegs · May 21, 2009, 01:28 PM

just listened through the whole album. not bad, but i feel they lack a bit of originality. They sound good, but very generic at the same time.

mr.sinister · May 29, 2009, 12:33 AM

They have a new song up on their myspace.
