The thing I like about SYL and Devin's music is that its so effective yet kinda simple at the same time. But as soon as you start thinking, that's so simple something tricky and subtle just comes in and you're blown apart !
The only box I'd try to put SYL in would be "Extreme Metal" which is so purposefully ambiguous. If you had to try to nail it down, it would probably be something like "Melodic industrial black death prog" metal. Or something ridiculous like that.
Wow, intelligent Death Metal! This music is actually über-intelligent, even though the critics can't figure it out.
Actually I've heard many critics comment on Devy's genius writing. He said recently that he literally heaped metaphor on top of metaphor until he felt it sounded great.
@liquidportnoy Out of random question, what would you call them? I honestly have no idea, other than they are highly influenced by industrial metal, and a little progressive.
I don't think Sean Reinert is as good as Gene, though Kollias is probably better. I love all three though. I've only really listened to Sean's work through Death though.
Thank god the vid worked again. Syl are the only band that nomatter how much i listen to the same song i wont end up hating it forever, syl is the drug of choice for people with great minds.
Damn... Devin, Gene, Byron, Jed... plz come back-.- feel like i'm gonna die if i don't get to see ye live... SYL was the best metal out there... And not was, it IS the best metal band... And this is one of the best songs... plz dudes, come back...
