Iwrestledabearonce

As heard on 2011's Ruining It For Everybody, Louisiana's oddly-named Iwrestledabearonce specializes in jumpy, chaotic, experimental metalcore/mathcore. Kudos to the guys for some pretty impressive musicianship and inventive song titles, though the neverending supply of riffs and tempo changes are a bit much at times.
