This is one of the best metal EPs I have ever heard. I came in with some expectations due to high praise for this band across the interwebs, but the songs still managed to impress me. Both softer and more brutal than I expected, all of the disparate styles (of metal, plus prog rock) flow pretty seamlessly as each song progresses. An incredible independent debut. Great use of 8-string guitars as well!

4.5/5 - Exceptional metal EP, although not quite perfect (the second song, The Mountain Top, does interesting things with screaming vox but doesn't necessarily improve the listening experience IMHO). So much promise. They've since released a full length, can't wait to give it a listen.
