I actually heard worse stuff than that about Malakh. Tried to find it but no luck.
Pretty sure i posted Immortal Souls, that video even, when it was released. But I've never been a big fan. Requiem was pretty good, but even that I didn't listen to much.
Their albums do have a tendency of sounding similar to one another. I like their style though so I guess that's not a bad thing.
I do like IS... a lot. I need to do something about off site media back up in the case of a fire. My copy of Once upon a Time in the North is irreplaceable now. Not even available at crazy prices on Amazon.
I know this is going to sound strange coming from me since I enjoy metalcore, but I picked up Becoming the Archetype's I Am and I don't like the new direction (or vocalist). If it were any other band I might enjoy it, but they gave us this wonderful album. The cover art and this track (along with How great Thou Art) swayed me from saying that Celestial Completion was my favorite. Celestial Completion had some cool tracks though.
