I just recently started listening to this band after relistening to my Soilwork albums and realizing how good they were. So I went out and got this and 'Slaughter' and as much as that album set the sound from all Melodic Death to following this EP is even better and more original. To start this doesn't sound or feel like the At The Gates of latter. This is a very dark EP. The vocals are more growled than shouted and they have noticeable Black Metal influence. I myself am not a fan black metal but the infuence here makes for a better listen. A few of songs also use keybroads, very nicely I might ad. They give the music an aura of mystery. I would say this EP is like a dark Death/Black album with an extreme Doom Metal feeling. It just plain rules. Buy it NOW! P.S. 'All Life Ends' is the best song here. But there are no bad ones.
