Because my friends who listen to Forgotten didn't like this, there’s a friend of mine who adores them and as soon as he put this on the player he yelled, "What the hell is this!!!" and literally threw it out the window. Others say that the use of electronics is overblown and that the vocals are too filtered... I don’t trust it.

Sure, think that the big boss of Relapse stated that "Harkonen and Opeth are the 2 bands I've always dreamed of working with!"

It's the only one I haven't listened to from Forgotten... and I don't want to listen to it. "Springtime Depression" and "Love's Burial Ground" are beautiful, 100% masterpieces of depression, but this one, I know it's going to be a huge load of crap.

X Grampasso: well, we can't know what goes on in the minds of the Breach, so mine was a personal interpretation! :-) One thing is for sure, if you go to www.themurderinn.it they think like I do, that is, they interpret it as "Dio Sono Io". As for who is right, only the Breach know! By the way, thanks for the compliments!

Of course, it’s essential that you get as much as you can from Isis! A band that I think draws a lot from Breach is Botch (yes, I know, the name is similar!), listen to American Nervoso, Anthology of Dead Ends, etc. Then rely on Aaron Turner’s label, Hydrahead, which pays special attention to bands coming from post-hardcore... The genre is vast and includes many different bands. First of all, I wholeheartedly recommend Pelican; I’ve even reviewed them: they are purely instrumental, starting from a typically post-hardcore foundation (in the Isis sense of the word) and then steering towards more advanced stoner and sludge paths. Then you need to have Burst, who manage to blend both aspects of post-hardcore (the atmospheric and the violent) but they don't have a noise track; they are very clean (if you want noise, definitely Helmet and Unsane). The same goes for the great Buried Inside and also for Callisto (which I have reviewed). Then also check out Keelhaul, but they are a bit more challenging to tackle... For the scene that extreme-hardcores, I can obviously mention Converge and Dillinger Escape Plan among the high points, but let’s not forget Burnt By The Sun and many other bands... Ah, then definitely listen to Beecher, especially "Breaking The Fourth Wall" (I reviewed it), it’s very heterogeneous!! If you want maximum heterogeneity, dive into Hacride. Then also check out Cable... There are tons of bands I could name for you (see Alfredo’s recommendations), for now, just grab these! If you ask puntinicazpuntini, he’s also very knowledgeable about post-hardcore and especially the genres that influenced it or are somehow related (stoner, sludge, drone, etc.).

They won't reform. A commemorative compilation has been released.

Slower, suffocating, and with a dirty sound? Even better!!! Now I really have to have them!!!:-)

If they're like Will Haven, then I'll look them up right away.

Yes, but Neurosis and Breach have a different approach to hardcore, even though they come from the same lineage. Neurosis (at least in their most recent works) start from a noise base with apocalyptic influences that lead to other psychedelic elements, while Breach are much more direct, taking noise influences and slamming them onto a powerful hardcore foundation. At least, from what I've listened to, it seems more or less like that to me... Thank you for the compliments.

Alright, since you like Piano Magic, I forgive you :-)
