Yeah, its all of the same school. Its quickly becoming my favorite musical hybrid. Somewhere around 3 years ago, emo kids got the bright idea to mix more scandinavian style metal in their core. I didnt like it at first, but a couple years later, these crybaby little bastards have it down.

It does seem to grow on you. How can it not? The ONLY bad parts are when it gets too emo, but some of these you posted below have less 'don't leave me' parts, the crunch and the gallops can always grab a metal devotee.
It Dies Today - Sentiments Of You
Oh my, THIS is good. The spoken word stuff will always bring the tune down slightly, but as long as its not some 2 minute 'don'tr you leave me' break, i can handle a little spoken word. But I dig this track for sure. Especially the last minutes. During some of the riffs man, Amon Amarth is present. Love the metal influences man.
End This Day - Cursed By The Blessed.
One thing I do like is dry vocals, I love distortion and crunch and at some parts, or maybe even buried in the mix a little scratch on the voice is okay, but this shit sounds cleaner vocally, guitar is good too. Drummer never stumbles. This is good.
Dark Day Dawning - The Grimmest Of Fairy Tales
Now this one sounds more core than metal, but thats fine. I dig it. Sounds more chaotic, then the break. Love the vocals on this one too, I'm a sucker for that completely irrational, cracking voice. But I CAN do without the emo part in this one, but it quickly gets back on track. I like the cheaper production sound on this one too, the others are much more crunchy and thick, this one sounds thinner. More core than metal, but good.
Bury Your Dead - Tuesday Night Fever.
Oooh, this one sounds good from the start.Maniacal, and heavy from the jump. Awesome. If youre pounding double bass before the first 30 seconds is up, you got my attention. Love the fragile elements of the first minute of this. At exactly 1.00 it thrusts forward. Killer track. I like em short and sweet like this. No emo shit in this one ;) I really like this, like a metally Poison Idea. Then the core comes out thick in the end. Tough. I dig this.
xUntil The Endx
Heavy. Fairly standard delivery. But executed well, production is good, i like the mix on this one. The voice compliments the guitar instead of slicing through it, I like. And as usual, the last minutes are tough and crunch, nothing wrong with this tune either. Except the 'x.' ;)
Hymn From Above - Hang With Smile
This is an awkward little tune, the clean tube guitar with the crunchy rhythm and killer core voice make it sway and stumble almost between emotions, awesome. Dark, and lonely. Again, short and sweet, I'm a sucker for a good 2 minute track that just lays it down, no 'chorus - verse chorus verse' shit, just lay it down. Nice tunes man, thanks.

No shit, I was tricked by Point Of Recognition recently, was grooving then realized he was screaming 'God you are my strength, Jesus you are my strength.' Damn straight edge bands are always tricking me too. ;)
Sorry about the novel, figured as I listen Id smoke a bowl and drop some thoughts. If theres anything I ever want to talk about its music or the creation of it.
