Known about this band forever, but I just think it's that alarming. To me it sounds like Meshuggah covering Devin Townsend.

maybe it's just me.

Wow. This is good.

I'd say a cross of God Is An Astronaut and Meshuggah.

If any band is compared to Meshuggah I typically run fast in the opposite direction.

I have never even heard Meshugah, but I like the music Cloudkicker because of its instrumental prog style.

Nothing "wrong" with it. But in that case I'd rather just listen to Devin Townsend or Meshuggah.

Like this a lot. I hear the Meshuggah and Devin Townsend comparisons but imo it's a fundamentally different thing because there's no vocals.

Cloudkicker is pretty great.

Tesseract is another great band in the same vein. Saw them open for Devvy T, and they were such a tight live band, it was great.

Riff at the start of that song is so cool.

Starting to feel dumb for not listening to this guy more when I found out about him.
