From somewhere deep in Pennsylvania comes Jehovah Lashing, a fairly unique-sounding black metal band. Their style of black metal is interesting - it combines deep echoing Archgoat-style vocals with an almost Finnish kind of melody on the guitars, all with a flowing rhythm section. The problem is this four-song EP is quite repetitive and all the songs blend together, as they're quite similar. The melodies used are so close to each other it's like one twenty-minute song with a few breaks of silence in it. I wish this was more diverse, because it's an interesting sound, one that I would explore further if this had been a better outing. Unfortunately I must recommend a pass on this one.
