Former Thieves - The Great And Alleged Great

 listen to Control and Illusion by Former Thieves, as a preview to this record

does anyone remember The Minor Times? they had more than revived my hope for the metalcore genre. because of that band, they were soaring high.

Former Thieves seem to be influenced by that very band, as they display similar sounding metallic grooves with a hint of structural chaos, topical lyrics and heartfelt elements in songs. they have a new album coming out, of which what I heard is another step forward for them. the guitars have a souther rock -like feel to their sound but play hardcore structures and the voice is so full of angst which makes for a really sweet mix of metal and post-hardcore with a progressive hardcore attitude.
