What does FLAC mean?
FLAC is a lossless audio format designed for superior sound quality.
FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec, an audio format similar to MP3, but lossless, meaning that audio is compressed in FLAC without any loss in quality. This is similar to how Zip works, except with FLAC you will get much better compression because it is designed specifically for audio.

Who’s FLAC for?
You’re a bit of an audio nerd, you regard 320Kbps MP3s to be inferior, you want DRM free, lossless downloads and you want them now! Sound familiar? Then FLAC is for you.

The kind of HUGE that caps lock simply can't do justice to, tracks like 'Not of the Fallen' and 'Stand Shadowless Like Silence' broil upwards in an Eos-enhanced dawn of soaring strings, subterranean bass and sweaty riffage that could fell a marauding army. With the former single 'Shadow' still a soaring edict on the power of traditional post-rock (it essentially sounds like a Christmas song being torn to bits by Hades), 'And The Battle Is Won' proves that a silly name never stopped anyone...
