Saw these guys over the weekend really good.

Dark Sermon - The Eyeless Needle

Dark Sermon - Hounds

After the Burial - cursing akhenaten

Hope they open with this

after the burial is a good band, I've been listening to Katatonia a lot lately, one here from their new album

thanks, never heard of them but that was awesome, and yes, very Mastodon like

hm. seems i spoke to soon. i only skipped through a bit before, but now that ive listened to the whole thing, its not really all that much like sybreed. or fear factory either, really, imo, other than a bit of mechanical drumming. (but definitely still check out sybreed if you like fear factory.) not really much of an industrial element to it. id compare mechina more to other symphonic/atmospheric death metal like atoma, duskmourn, enshine, slumber and the newer wintersun.
