Biography

Originally forged in 1996 with an eye to emulating the New York hardcore style, France's Comity gradually evolved to adopt a hyper-technical, epic-minded, and completely unpredictable style of modern metal,somewhere betwixt the math metal of the Dillinger Escape Plan and the cinematic creations of Neurosis. Finally making their recorded debut in 2001, via the oddly titled The Catharsis Synthax Project (a split release with another French band), vocalist Thomas, guitarists Yann and François, bassist Alex, and drummer Guillaume proceeded to one-up themselves two years later with an impossibly challenging and structurally dense full-length release entitled Deus Ex-Machina As a Forgotten Genius (Andy Warhol Sucks).
