Wow. I can't believe I haven't heard of these guys until now. Pissed, chaotic metalcore that totally rips you apart, even at the first few seconds of listening. With dual vocal-approach, crushing breakdowns and intense verses it can't be anything but good.
It's not common for swedish bands to have this kind of chaotic energy, judging from my own experience. They really have their own thing going on, and aren't trying to imitate other bands. Altough, you hear a vague similiarity to Architects and Bring Me The Horizon from time to time, vocal-wise. Unintentionally, I'm guessing.
Even though they've only been a band for ~1,5 years, they've recieved a number of awards from various magazines and radio stations (Demo of the Month - P3 Rockster, Best in Sweden - Close Up Magazine). Not only do they prove their potential, but we all know they will go very far.
This EP was only a three-track and it serves pretty good as a teaser for their debut album planned for release during spring. I'm REALLY looking forward to it.

Sidenote: I LOVE the chorus on Anastacia. It's so damn awesome.


Best track: Anastacia
Score: 9/10
