I always classified Sikth as math-like...maybe not.
Still cool.

Meshuggah air guitar.
Better than not being able to dance to it.

Actually I love watching people try and dance to this shit. Hilarity always ensues.

i don't know if we're math rock, maybe math-influenced progressive/jazz or something who knows. i don't really plug that demo anymore cos we have an EP almost done which will be out in a few weeks that'll be muuuch cooler.

not sure if Oxes really count as math rock, but being from Baltimore, I have to include them.

This is brilliant! The addition of piano is rad.

I don't get into any of their politics but I'm a big fan. I've been lucky enough to see them a few times and they're razor sharp live too.

I forgot who (without checking) but at least 1 person thinks Norma Jean belongs in this thread

Clearly our definitions differ.
I'd sooner mention non-Hot Topic-ky bands like Hurl, Nice Strong Arm & Unwound...

[Pugie]

More Ian Williams.

Yeah that was me. Most of my stuff is more math metal based cause that's what I know.
In all fairness I stopped listening to them after that record as everything they did became pretty boring and by the numbers.
Also, at the time, in Oz at least that whole whatever"core" thing didn't have a name and wasn't played out yet. I listened to heaps of different heavy stuff back then and generally paid no attention to genre labels, so stuff that might get dumped in that bucket now flew under the radar then.
It's still a good listen. It's loud, abrasive, has plenty of odd grooves and time Sig changes and plenty of dischord. It's hard to dance to, so I think it qualifies.
School me on this hot topic thing.
I am literally clueless.
If I understand correctly it's a store, right?
Educate me, RUSTY!
