    Despite the gimpy image, I like the band, but the breakdowny thing at the end (Around 3:30)? Whut!?!

    Can't say I like the sound of it. It's the techno sort of a beat in the back of it that'd drive me off. I don't like techno, so it'd be sorta beyond me as to why you'd want to stick it in metal.

    I'm a big fan of metal + synths when it's tastefully done and adding atmosphere to the song as opposed to dominating. That first song wasn't bad once the dancey lead dropped out at 0:58 :).

    I suppose the first band that comes to mind that play in this style is Enter Shikari. They are yet another marmite band. I'm not their biggest fan but I certainly don't hate them.

    Along the lines of the videos already posted, here is Italian band Helia

    and of course Blood Stain Child who should have come to mind before Enter Shikari (stupid brain!)

    It's a hard one to argue especially on a Rock & Metal forum without going a bit off-topic but feck it, I'm the moderator :). If you don't like dance music in general then it pretty much stands to reason you're not going to like it combined with metal. I'm using the generic term dance music as a cover all. I've no idea what the difference between techno, dance, rave, trance is so I don't even try to tell them apart. The key for me is when bands use synths as an accessory to the song - embellish a riff or add atmosphere or use it as a build up. Funnily enough I quite liked that breakdown at the end of the song Fad posted. As mentioned earlier, I don't like when the synth aspects dominate.

    I'd love to see a metal band cover this song:

    I like the breakdown at the end. I haven't gotten round to checking out their new album. Heard it's a change of direction.

    A bit of a taboo subject for some but I like a lot of electonic music, especially drum & bass. Boards user Nemeses posted this up on (dance) Music Production forum a few weeks ago which I thought was pretty decent seeing as he/she didn't have access to the master tapes.
