Lunar Blackened Death EP [Three stars] Independent release
The mood of this album is well maintained throughout ”“ it’s somehow both airy and cavernous. The band also throws in the occasional twist ”“ a bass run on ”˜Dead and Decayed,’ a black-metal-esque atmospheric interlude on ”˜Soul Destruction’ ”“ that keeps the music sufficiently engaging. But there are also missteps like the plaintive vocal chant at the beginning of ”˜Soul Destruction’ that seems oddly out of place. And though competently written, played and produced, a lot of the songs in this CD are not memorable, lacking the recall value needed to make a lasting impression. Here’s hoping a better follow-up is in the making.
Key Tracks: ”˜Animal Party,’ ”˜Lunar Blackened Death
