Growling vocals, up-tempo grooving riffs Entombed style, that's what this band serves. Death 'n' roll like it should be played. Nothing wrong with that off course, but I miss the originality. I don't hear anything that adds something to this style. This band was formed in 2003 by vocalist Hook and bass-player Valmer and after a demo they got signed by Ibex Moon Records.

If you like this style there isn't a lot to criticize if it wasn't for the average song-writing. There isn't a single track that's special or one that makes me excited. All tracks have a groove, but after a while the songs do not differ enough to keep me focused. For a debut this isn't bad, but I hope that the band will explore their style and try to be more than an average death 'n' roll grooving machine.

Not bad for a debut record, but that's about it.
