COB opened for Megadeth in the Twin Cities area a couple years back. They were pretty good, IIRC. Also at that same concert were In Flames and Job For a Cowboy, which were both decent as well. I just gave a listen to your Unearth link -- respectable guitar work, and pretty wicked sound. To be honest, I've always been more partial to this type of vocals than the growly death metal standard, but to each his own, eh?
Respectable guitar work....
Watching thier lead guitarist play it live is what prompted me to buy the album. He was doing some serious shredding... That's a big pull for me.

I like to be capable of understanding the words if I want to, at least....
But, unlike Ravin (IIRC), I pay attention to the lyrics to see if there's anything there to be said.
