I don't like them, and I don't think geg will either. They are not kvlt.

There are 100's of bands in Sweeden that have been playing this style (better) for 15 years. If you would like, I can recommend some.
There is a scene labeled "New Wave of American Heavy Metal" that has gained popularity amongst the kiddies. Some of these bands are great. I personally enjoy God Forbid. However, the sound and style are really just watered down versions of the Sweedish Melodic Thrash Metal explosion.

i was just going down the aisle in best buy and noticed the name Alaska on a cd. then i looked closer and it mentioned something about Tool and Mars Volta and a couple other bands. so, i became intrigued. when i finally listened to it i could tell about 30 seconds in that this wasn't for me.
someone should name their band Alaska. that'd be cool.

I think this band is infinitely better than the majority of the other crappy american metal bands that have emerged in the past few years. They're pretty technical.

They're alright from what I could hear from their myspace page but they're still ripping off 15 year old Sweedish music. I'm glad bands are getting better though. Funny that they are on Victory. That's the 2nd band I've heard from that label that sounds like Sweedish metal.

You want technical? Check out this band called Blood Has Been Shed. It's Howard Jones' first band before Killswitch Engage. The guitars are heavy as fuck.

Technically, all of these new Headbanger's Ball bands suck.

I was running around doing some errands this morning blasting Alaska.
This whole album is crazy good. It's the type of metal you can actually sit down and listen with headphones (as opposed to gym music). Previous times I've listened to this, it's just been background music to me.
Great band.
