Hype is a funny thing. Usually when I hear everywhere "Dude this shit is 🔥" or even the dreaded and oft-used "AOTY!!" bullshit, I roll my eyes. And I rolled my eyes last year on the hype train for Carnosus. But again, for every thousandth breathless fanboy review I've seen, sometimes the album exceeds the expectation. So I will confidently tell you that, yes, "This shit is 🔥" as I wait for Willowtip to release that sweet Green Ghostly vinyl variant domestically 🤣 Finally a win for my wallet! bcb723
This short EP kinda sums up my whole outlook during 2020: Exhausted, hopeless*, & a constant oppressed feeling; but too goddamn determined to give up like a bitch & instead to do whatever the fuck it took to emerge from it stronger, no matter what.
Mission Accomplished & I say with a snarl, "Fuck you COVID!"
Also, my cat Wraith just LOVES it when I sing along to Insurmountable, though the main bit should have been sang 2x instead of 1. VenoMal1c3
Death metal/deathcore hybridization done correct! All the atmospheric passages and samples feel right in place, with great sound. Instrumentation doesn't lack as well, but the vocals could've been a little less upfront. 8.5/10 liltito
