Pretty cool EP. Old school thrash, but there are these cool dissonant riffs all over it. I like the style.

The mix is good and fits the raw quality of the music, but it sounds very shrill to me. I hear very little low end, the guitars are especially very harsh and the cymbals seem a little too loud to me, too.
It's a little fatigueing to listen to.

Yea, I agree after listening again that the crashes/cymbals are a bit loud.

Nizhny, your stuff sounds like old school black metal. I like it! Very clean production. Subtle keyboards in the background give it character.

Thanks, much appreciated. I too am into old extreme metal with a hint of weirdness. Keep rockin', man!

This is interesting. I like it. I also dig the more "raw" sounding production. Everything is so over produced and neat all the time in this day and age. Good job.

cheers

PS- I don't consider this an EP. This has the length of a full length album. Usually EP's have 4/5 songs and 20min in total.

Thanks! I think the raw production matches my 'raw' guitar playing skills. Hides my mistakes!
