Despite its less-than-favorable demonstration of songwriting on all but two of the songs and a sheer lack of creativity, Ontario-based deathcore band Drag the Lake's first EP and debut release is at least a somewhat entertaining recording. I Am Violence contains both acceptable craftsmanship and vocals, and the EP presents itself as a clear indication that this group possesses a healthy amount of potential that they have yet to elaborate on; the final two tracks, "Claymore" and "To the Crows", are satisfying enough to be legit jams that hint at relatively better things to come in the future.
