This band is absurdly underrated, what's wrong with people?

Man, these guys really created something special.

Unfortunate to see their worst song is their most popular.

Last.fm user · lastfm

True that. It is pretty funny lol. I have no idea why Linchpin is the most listened and the album Digimortal is the most listened to album on ere too. I don't understand how Archetype is the second most listened to album when it's literally just pastiche of Demanfacture.
