  I have known these guys for a while, and have always been in high anticipation about their music, finally being able to listen to a band that has (in my mind) made a huge impact on already, has made me ultimately excited and happy to see that they are now being their own band, yet making music that on-else has really touched on within the local music scene.

I – Artemis

Is an introduction to this EP, which can send shivers down your spine. It then comes in with a smash of brutally heavy riffs and vocals that will most definitely make you jump as you clearly don’t expect it. It steadily leads in to…

  II - Create. Condition. Conform.

Which not only brings you melodic heavy death metal riffs, but gut stomping drums and bass that will only make you throw yourself about to.

The vocals are also one of the highest points as they compliment every key note that is played within the song and bring in their own unique style. Also bringing in the ear bursting breakdowns, it really shows how versatile this band really is.

  III - Shadowed

Epic is a word for this song, it has everything that any metalcore/tech fan would love, catchy riffs, a melodic intro that merges the rhythmic main riff together and brings in high intensity that most bands seem to keep doing but never usually succeed in doing. A perfect balance between heavy and melodic, which also compliments the breakdowns as by the end of this song you really get to feel how heavy this band really is.

  IV – Imbalance

Tech/deathcore heads, get your heads round this! because this offers riffs that compare to The Acacia Strain without a doubt!

Merging tasty guitar riffs to cater for anyone who is in to the heaviest of music, and with some gorgeous melodic parts too, its definitely one of my favourite songs of this EP. There is a complete gap in the market for songs like this and it seems these guys have definitely filled it to the brim!

  V - Decadence

From the start of this song there is solid guitar work, and impeccable drumming. The vocals once again compliment the song so much that you want to hear more and more. It has a very heavy side and a very melodic chorus, which would accommodate anyone who is in to high intense music with versatility and room to keep you interested.

Definitely another track to watch out for!

  VI - Malevolent Perception

Heavy is the forefront of this track you can feel the Whitechapel influences. The breakdowns are cut right the way through in this song, making it easily the heaviest track. Some really original guitar riff and tones, some really awesome low slides too. Incredibly tight and well constructed.

  VII - Insanity Of Kings

Finishing this EP off in style. The ferocious breakdowns and everlasting solid riffs seem to be something of a simple task for these guys. There is never a lack of tone or unbalance for these guys. Nearly all their influences ooze through this track and it couldn’t fit any better to finish off.

Epic is definitely the word for this EP.

As promised! Here is a music video I made for Leon Monaco's song "Suspection" (which was composed for Becoming Obsolete).

The video uses both in-film footage and some behind the scenes footage of the band. So consider this a sneak peak at the film! Enjoy.

How awesome is that?! I have very limited photo shop skills, but I somehow managed to create that!
