ADAJE were the precursor to Greyscale and released music between 2010 and 2012. They played mathy and spastic screamo with a lot of slower, brooding melodies but the band certainly evolved and incorporated new things over the five releases, with 'Yore Veils' being the strongest (and final) effort. Band comparisons are a little weak, but I think mixing Greyscale (obviously) with D'Amore danceable parts and the noodly bits are reminiscent of Hot Cross and Matsuri. Some songs are in the heavier and screamier vein while others are rooted in emo and post-rock. Because Greyscale was able to do the emo/screamo with some clean vocals thing extremely well I have gravitated towards the noodly and heavy screaming of songs such as "Nightlife" (very heavy), "Kanga Wu Pouch" (serious dual screams that remind me of Hugs), "A True Facade" (the last half sounds like Jiyuna), "Slithering Snakes On These Slandering Mountains", "Pending" and "KWP" - the last three of which are all from the phenomenal and epic 'Yore Veils'. Some sound exceptions include the very mature "Ladder for a Step" which injects excellent spacey guitars, "Caveman Not Cometh" which has very obvious The Fall Of Troy guitar influences mixed with Beau Navire. As I just finished explaining to my wife, "Harrowing Sounds From the Ravine" is the band's best track and definitely displays pretty openly what Greyscale was going to sound like, albeit a bit darker.
