I've been in to this band for years now, and they split up some time ago, but I just started listening to them again for the first time in ages and they really are amazing.

They had two singers and the vocals have tended to put people off. I actually took their first album back for a refund because the vocals were so out there, but I ended up buying it again and kind of got obsessed from there. Despite being annoying at first the vocals make a real change from the usual 'tough guy' stuff.

Mm. I struggled with them too. Still do, really. Much like Dillinger, I find them more something to marvel at rather than enjoy, in the typical sense. They do have more "hooks" than Dillinger, though; Scent of the Obscene being an example that springs to mind.

The riffing sometimes reminds me of Meshuggah. Will listen to Meshuggah now...did anyone recommend Meshuggah already?

Dunno, but if they didn't… well, I'd recommend them! One of the first bands I saw live, albeit not intentionally.
