I thought some of you would dig this. Some of you might have heard this already on the Sneap forum, but I thought I would post it here.

The song will play when the page opens.
I have been following these guys for a minute because of the Cynic relation. The guitar player is actually in Cynic now. Amazing Axe-Fx tone if you ask me! Both him and Paul from Cynic are using the Axe-Fx.
About the new Exivious song, it's mostly Axe-Fx. Stolen from the sneap forum, from guitarist Tymon:
"Thank you guys so much! Really cool to read all the positive stuff!
utarefson: We're a new band, no one knows us yet, so 1000 seemed like a good start. Besides, the packaging is also pretty special and we just want to do a 1000 of these. When it sells well we'll eventually put a normal digipack version out.
Metalhead28: Couldn't have hoped for a better response, thanks! As for the ordering, we don't accept pre orders yet, but we will asap.
slashvanyoung: Cynic comparisons, if you know the old Exivious demo stuff I think you'd know we're used to the comparison haha
beyond dead: Cool experience, trippy
gear rundown
guitars: Steinberger GM-4S with EMG pickups (SA SA 85) and a Schecter C7 with EMG pickups (whatever the 7 string version of the 89 is called I think)
amp/cab: 99% Fractal Audio Axe-FX. The main distortion sound is this Bogner Ecstacy patch with 2 Bogner V30 impulses. A real rock n roll sound if you play it with a Les Paul or something, but somehow it works really well in context of our stuff.
There's also some fretless guitars, weird stomp boxes, ebow, VG-88 and whatever we came across.
bass: Carvin with active pickups through EBS Fafner preamp DI out.
drums: Stef's usual Tama kit but with a smaller setup then usual, only 2 toms. I can't remember exactly what mics I used, I can look it up on pics if needed. We used 3 pairs of room mics, used those a lot in the mix to get this open fusiony sound. Was quite a challenge to give them the punch they needed with all the room sound going. No triggers, no tricks, just pure drums."
"The clean swells are Axe-FX but layered with a synth pad sound."
