After nine years and four full-length albums – not to mention a level of commercial success that saw their songs featured in Guitar Hero and the soundtracks of other video games – the Mukilteo-based mathcore trio is calling it quits. Though theres no big explosion and no plan to stop making music, their Marked Men of 2010 tour is also a celebratory farewell for the still-young bandmates. And while theyre touring on their most-recent release In the Unlikely Event, its really a catalogue stretching back to their debut material recorded at age 17. The bands technical rhythms and exhilarating guitar riffs layer with front man Thomas Eraks powerful vocals and penetrating shrieks for a hardcore experience enjoyable even to those who run from any genre with the suffix -core.
