| 3.5 great | Bedex | April 17th 21 |
For a debut EP 2 years before their first full-length this is excellent and very exciting, although it does raise a worry that the formula may struggle a bit on a longer record. The production is a bit gritty in places, but aside from that this already feels like a mature record. Both vox and guitar tones already make you crave for Star Rider (which may be a case of Never meant syndrome). 1 has a great synth intro and guitar tone as i said, but the track does feel like it struggles to unfold as it goes and feels a bit overlong. 2 and 3 are the highlights here I'd say, with plentiful Sabbath DNA but not just that. Both songs are really cool and pack more than the first 30s lead you to believe. 3's first half is perhaps a bit less cool, but after a great bridge mid-track the second half really cranks up the riffage. 4 is pretty eh in the first half but again the second half catches up although perhaps less memorable than 2-3, an impression reinforced by an album conclusion that feels utterly unnecessary and falls flat. A bit of a shame that brings this down half a point, but still a healthy 3.65

Solid proto-metal. On the lighter side of proto-metal, it also adds in progressive elements, which combine for a unique experience. It is quite cool, and I look forward to hearing full LPs from these guys.

Beautiful proto-heavy metal (is this a thing?). Super retro, super fun.
