And also, just because they did not record or majoritively write OOP does not mean that members playing the songs off of it every night for over two years would NOT have that influence on their next project.

I like those moment most on this release and are an element the band needs to focus and capitalize on for their third release... That is the element that is distinctly "them" on this release and could put them head and shoulders above all in their scene if they worked it more.

"While other bands have shaped an entire genre out of Nothing and Chaosphere while still maintaining scraps of individuality, After The Burial’s djenty math chugs are identical in nature to any of those album’s (except for the fact that none of After The Burial’s are remotely memorable). While the exact time signatures and rhythms are not used, the tone, playing style and aesthetical choices are a blatantly mimicry of Meshuggah, or even the likeminded Coprofago."
I am not sure how to argue this "Playing style is only similar during their earlier-mentioned Meshuggah breakdowns. " as it seems you are corroborating my point.
As for the eight strings, yes you are right, (maybe the reason I figured they were seven strings is because the guitar production sounded so limpdick lololol) but it is ridiculous to concede that all bands who use eight strings are not at fault for sounding the same; bands who chug away with the exact same distorted bass tone as their obvious idols in Meshuggah. Their strings are not making them play polyrhythms and start-stops identical to another band's. Ion Dissonance and even FellSilent like you mentioned sound vastly different from meshuggah. Sorry buddy, After The Burial are a narcoleptic photocopier of a band.
