So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good. playfulpooka

Not as refined as their latest releases, but still solid doom metal along the lines of Candlemass, but with a somewhat limited vocal delivery. Thankfully, that changes over the next couple releases. A blast to see how the band's progressed though and this release is still damn good! Nick
