It just goes to show you how perceptions can change....
Last year I saw them open for Nevermore and Opeth in Atlanta. The keyboards were so high in the mix that it drowned out everything else. I thought at the time that they were one of the worst bands I had ever seen.
At PP2.0 I took advantage of the empty hall to get some shopping done during AD's set. That and with the new firends I had made I took every oppurtunity to make fun of this band(those of you who were present during this drunken tirade please overlook a man who had way too many Heineken's on an empty stomach). I even bumped into Dirk and Banx. Given my opinion of them at the time I simply shook hands with them and went my way(even though I thought they sucked I would never insult a band. especially one that has the courage to play metal).
On a chance, I picked up "Of Human Bondage" and really listened to this band. Now I don't know how it compares to the rest of their catalog but i really like this disc. So much so that I am getting the rest of their catalog. And to think.....I could have gotten their autograhps if I just did'nt have my head up my ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
