has anyone heard the 'alchemy index'. it is absolutely stunning. the new ep's air and earth are beautiful. especially the song 'Broken Lungs.'
Any love?

no love
find this shocking as the concept and and the mus is breathtaking.
i saw them co-headline with coheed & cambria
and they were really ordinary - but i keep seeing loads of hype for their albums - what should i investigate first to dispel my current bad vibes?
Nah, not really, they really aren't anything special.
the older stuff
is quite ordinary but the new album is out of the this world. the concept is quite pretentious but a great one to. it is 4 ep's representing four elements fire (heavy and powerful), water (really electro and chilled), air (epic and stunning) and earth (folky and live). the music and lyrics represent these elements. its really interesting and also shows how versatile they are. i would really advise checking it out.
there is also a great remix of digital sea of water by benjamin weinman of dillinger.
