As far as A.C (after Cynic) releases go, the only thing I've really been impressed with and think is worth listening to on a regular basis has been Paul M's Aeon Spoke, a very far throw from the metal arena, but at least it feels like he is still searching for something that inspires him.
...and I know, Ahgora isn't bad either, but their dynamic wears thin, fast.
As for this C-187 business... it sounds like Hatebreed with some nu-metal bling thrown in and tighter arrangements, which pretty much makes me want to sex my ears with cinderblocks
