From myspace:

Monday, July 12, 2010 More new album details!
Hey guys!

Were still busy finalising the music for our second release and were still completely stoked with the new material. Not trying to sound over confident but multi platinum awards have ALREADY been awarded for it and its not even done yet.

In other news we have booked a drum recording session at Foel Studio (Porcupine Tree, Napalm Death, Electric Wizard, Primordial, Paul Rogers) for the end of November, and the entire album will be mixed and mastered by the mighty Jacob Hansen (Aborted, Pestilence, Tyr, Hatesphere)

Anyway guys, we hope to see you at some of our upcoming shows for a beer or two!

A very nice album-well constructed, catchy grooves with intricate riffs and well devloped bass lines.

The orchestral pieces are also very well made and have a nice balance between not drenching the music in symphonies but being used enough to make a significant difference to the sound.

The album feels to drag a bit nearing to the end (tracks 8 and 9) but overall a good, fresh, album that deserves the high scores people have been giving it.

I would like to give it an 8.5 but, fuck it, I'll give it a 9 as it deserves more than an 8 from me.

Very nice album and quite a pleasant surprise. Complex but groovy riffs, powerful rhythm section and harsh vocals accompanied but some epic-sounding orchestrations aren't something you hear every day.

Despite the fact that I find most djent monotonous, this has really got a lot to offer I think. Shame they didn't use those clean vocals more, they're fantastic!

Reminds me of Kalisia - Cybion...or am I crazy...

I got that a few times...The intro to Unite to Defy sounds EXACTLY like Kalisia, along with a few other symphonic parts.
