7/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
This is excellent death metal with crust punk elements. It reminds me slightly of Nuclear Death Terror or Extinction of Mankind mixed with hard-charging death metal of a simpler variety. Overdriven production distorts the drums and adds a filthy layer of noise like a lot of crust productions do. This punk-fueled mixture really helps the intensity of the record, never relenting once in this EP's short duration, 6 songs in under 15 minutes. The breakdowns are crushingly heavy, and they're hard-hitting with big, tough riffs. I want to hear a full-length from this band to see what else they can do. I can even hear hints of Nunslaughter in their sound, but this may be from the punk influence. They have great songs and atmosphere, and this is the sort of death metal I prefer.
