Here we have a short EP from this German black metal outfit, their third release overall. We get three tracks of cleanly produced black metal that still has an element of rawness to it. It's very much in the old Nordic style. The riffs have a big, epic feel, soaring over the bass and drums with aplomb. Each song is roughly five minutes long but they feel longer for some reason. It's not bad stuff at all, and I'll wait to see what they do next. Hopefully we get a full length soon! I'll have to pay more attention to the label, Breaking the Chains, since this is now the second release of theirs that I have liked.
