As soon as I even looked at this when it arrived
I knew exactly what I was in for; a metal band that
has not much in the form of originality to offer
me. It’s not bad but it’s just already
been done so many times and at much better qualities,
if you’re going to start a metal band in this
day and age you definitely need to be unique or
you’re never going to get anywhere. The overlaying
vocals don’t harmonise but instead clash with
each other making for a horrible sound in parts.
The first track “Funeral” displays initial
elements of the deathcore genre mostly in the guitar
work but then it kicks into a much faster pace with
quick drumming and riff’s although it sounds
far too familiar to a kind of Sylosis style mixed
with a more death metal style like Heaven Shall
Burn and the breakdowns are far too similar to what
I’ve heard from Romeo Must Die.
The second track “The Wait” to me is
a bit pointless as the majority of it is instrumental
but not the kind of instrumental that allows the
musicians to really show off what they’ve
got, it’s more of a standard song just missing
vocals and it’s also not as quick as the rest
of the songs on the EP, the rain at the end is weird
but quite cool as well like its hitting a waterproof
jacket.
The third track “Become Inhuman” is
much better. It’s like the first track but
the vocals are fit together better and whilst it
may be true that again it’s not really original
it’s much better than the previous 2. It flows
much better too and is easier to follow, still I
do think a better quality is needed along with a
bit more originality in their approach to song writing.
The final track “An Unreal Entity” is
pretty much in the same vein as the first track
and there’s not much really left for me to
say about it. The EP really isn’t off to much
of a professional start, the band don’t have
a distinguished logo, an appealing cover, original
material on the EP itself; mostly you need to really
get the music sorted before you release anything
and then you if you want to be taken seriously all
of these things need to be considered. Maybe next
time eh?
2/5
