This artist possessed a desire to create American style metal with a highly technical but not overindulgent flair and in that succeeds with the right application of fast riffs to balance the slower, dirge riffs or percussive phrasing which here shines as tasteful and deliberate. Like compatriots Monstrosity, this artist has a tendency to use heavy metal riffing between blasting passages of rippling destruction, and similarly has the taste for highly melodic guitar that has benefitted Tampa metal since Obituary's "Cause of Death." Alternation to surprisingly simple straightforward songwriting provides constant energy to intricate work. This EP presents highly articulate songs that show their youth well and suggest a powerful future for this highly inventive and proficient act.
