In short
Technical death metal from Reading, Pennsylvania, best known for the record where a saxophone turned out to belong. Where Owls Know My Name was the autumn instalment of an album-per-season cycle and became the band's calling card — the horn reads not as novelty but as the melodic voice the genre had been missing. Bassist Adam Biggs took over lead vocals in 2022.
