New album on the horizon (September 2, 2008), so I figured it's time for a discog!
I love this band. When I saw them in concert, I remember 2 songs, but for the remainder of the set I was on a natural high, and don't remember much. Other than it was incredible. It was an experience like no other. I also crowd-surfed and lost my phone during their set.
I'd recommend starting with Define The Great Line, an album that peaked at #2 on the US Billboard. Define is my favorite album of all time.
Unlike They're Only Chasing Safety, Define The Great Line was written by both Spencer Chamberlain (screams) and Aaron Gillepsie (drums/vox). Chamberlain would write the lyrics he would sing, Gillespie would do the same, and sometimes they would trade lyrics with each other. They're Only Chasing Safety was written completely by drummer and singer Aaron Gillespie. Track 5, "Sálmarnir", is keyboardist Christopher Dudley's cousin reading Psalm 50:1-6 in Russian. In the background is a live recording of the Psalm in English.
The first two albums are very different from the more recent ones, and feature a much darker, brutal sound.
