Incredible band. Just released a new song off the upcoming "Viscera - EP" and it's ridiculous good. Thoughts on these guys?
Although Viscera ended up being a disappointment and felt a bit short, I'm still looking forward to their next EP. They've hit such heights in the past that I could never discount them.
I really wish Thrice would take these guys on tour with them and get them some more exposure. I love Yet and Behold.
Would be amazing but sadly they don't really play many shows. I think they said last year that they're aiming for a tour, a couple of festivals (like Facedown & Audiofeed) and an EP each year. Which is definitely better than nothing - which they were often doing between albums.
I initially felt the same way about Viscera, but I put it on last month and somehow couldn't stop listening to it! It was the strangest thing. I really enjoy it now.
Sounds like I need to revisit it. My main criticism was that it seemed so short but it definitely didn't grip my attention. When they put out the next EP I may create a back-to-back playlist.
That's a good idea. Actually letting the lyrics sink in helped me appreciate the music more, too, in a weird way. Very excited for whatever the next release.
Their lyrics are one of the things that usually hit me most so having Viscera not doing that was a surprise. Some releases you just have to work harder with and perhaps I didn't! I'll give it a spin over the weekend.
Edit: sorry, didn't realise someone had made an album thread - let's continue the conversation there! My Epic have finally announced their next release and, surprise, it's two EPs! One in March and one later this year. The first single is here: I'm really excited for the two themes they've identified here. It hits right where I'm at with faith and life.
Resurrecting a thread from the grave. These guys did a livestream Q&A / concert on Saturday night and announced they have a Patreon. Lots of awesome material in there. Their hope was to get 100 members by the end of the year but they got 100 in the first 24 hours Come check it out and be part of the community.

Lol I just posted about this album in the other My Epic thread. So great, and Aaron’s feature is killer.
So happy to have them back after being away for so long. The trilogy has stayed on rotation which is wild as the first EP came out almost a decade back. Can't wait to give this a listen
Sucks they got buried on the Facedown roster for so long. I'm glad they're getting a bit more exposure on Tooth & Nail. Seems like they should have been on T&N this whole time.
