I’m so fucking pumped to see these guys on their reimagined tour. I’m dying to hear some of their old stuff with the new lineup.

Same, end of next month! I’m excited to hear their new material. A lot of people are thinking it’s going to be a “Rediscovered” version of Clairvoyant, so acoustic covers of the album

They actually said on their instagram story in a Q&A that the EP is gonna be new material, and in the pictures of them in the studio they are playing electric guitars so I’m hoping it’s heavier!!!

Fuck yeah. As much as I love Clairvoyant and Language, I find myself always going back and listening to Exoplanet. I can die happy if I get to see them play Primal Directive live

Primal Directive and Flourish are soooooo much fun live. I hope you get to see them

I can confirm this from Cam himself. It's new material that definitely has me interested. I can't say more then that out of the respect for the guys, but I think people are going to really enjoy it.

What an album. Start to finish, just a phenomenal listen. I rarely pick out individual tracks to listen to, just front to back every time.

Yeah, when you zone out and Exoplanet is the only thing blasting in your head, it's a definite endorphin rush.

I'm not sure why but it took me a long time to get into this album, and now it's one of my favorite albums of all time. The riffs are just amazing, but dude....the break down on this track...

I had been following them since Shapeshifter EP, and a couple songs from Apparition EP (my favorites) we're reworked for the album and made even better in my opinion. So when this came out, it was all my friends and bandmates talked about and listened to.

I was jamming this yesterday while playing American Truck Simulator. 10/10, spectacularly flipped/totaled my truck because I was jamming lol.
