Like The Deftones?

Here's a good alternative.  Are they better than The Deftones?  no, i don't see it that way.

This band has elements of The Deftones in the overall structure and vocal style

but has harder guitars, 'Djent' style guitars more along the lines of Periphery (actually their vocalist reminds me a bit of Spencer from Periphery as well)

when shown to my friends and fellow musicians i have gotten mixed response.  

a good buddy of mine said something along the lines of "It sounds like they are trying too hard"  not really sure what that means..but that's one angle.  

But if you like The Deftones or that Djent style of guitar work, for sure give these guys a listen.

They're heavy almost without trying to be.  They're heavy in a different sense.  You won't find any 'breakdowns' here.  But they aren't needed.
