    I was going to suggest just this. I think this is the same core group as Periphery except no vocals, if memory serves.

Not quite, at least not now. Matt Halpern & Misha Mansoor of Periphery did some work on the debut album. But apart from that, I believe AAL are completely separate, member wise:

Tosin Abasi - Guitar

Javier Reyes - Guitar

Matt Garstka - Drums

Makes more sense. I was introduced to there debut album (I thought in 2008, but it released in '09) and was going off dated information since. Thanks for the check. Wikipedia says you've got the member list right. Assuming auto-correct got the best of you, turning Mansoor into Moor.

Looks like I have to catch up on Madness of Many. Sounds like a great soundtrack to my proofs homework tonight.

Actually, it was just me being an idiot and not checking what I wrote. Fixed.

Madness of Many is fantastic. It's more complex and has less big riff led tracks, but as a result has lot more depth. It's become my favourite of theirs. I hope you enjoy it!

On my third listen. It's lovely. :)

Happens to the best of us, especially yours truly. Bless the edit button.

Oh... looking forward to the listen. Their debut album still rings in my head from time to time despite not remembering the last time I gave it a listen. No doubt this'll be as enjoyable. If not, it'll grow on me after a few rounds. I tend to be a fan of swelling riff-driven tracks (hence, love of Soilwork), but theme and variation will be refreshing.
