Houston math-metal trio Omotai can put their heads down and thrash it out with the best of ‘em, but it’s the little flourishes of hardcore, progressive rock and post-rock that makes them quite a bit different than the standard drop-D screamy hardcore that is so pervasive in Texas these days. Like smart kids making metal that makes the average metal kid a tad smarter.
