I've searched this forum and maybe found 2threads about them, i've searched on google and there's not much info at all..
No one likes them? I personally think they are great, well i think i've only heard miller but if lepond is playing his lines then he must be a great to...
For example listen to sea of lies...
They both seem to be very very underrated...
So let's start a discussion about them and more bassists might notice, and be inspired :P |

or listen to "The Accolade", wonderful song, 9.49 long!
one of the best Progressive metal bands imo! |

Those guys know how to groove when they have to, and eventhough they can play 1000 notes a minute, alot of the times they keep it simple to make a better song, but ofcourse they blow me away with thier chops too, any1 who can match mike romeo note for note is amazing. I love thier tone, esp when they tap, any1 know how they get it? |

| | | | Great bass players. Love th eintro to Sea of Lies. As far as his tone, try boosting low mids, and bass a bit?

I guess he didn't tour. Elements of Persuasion really, really blew me away! I can't wait for his next one.

Oh and don't underestimate Michael Lepond either, I used to just be a Miller fan, but then I closely listened to V (the album) and....just wow.
