Opening with “Melting”, this three-song EP (the band’s first release in a little over a decade) of brutal tech death metal unloads a barrage of triggered drums, guitar shredding so fast and precise as to suggest programming, and raspy grunts. The bass provides a near-constant wall of background low-end, with a few solos to its credit, and the concerted thunderous outpouring of the instruments moves with some surprisingly fluid twists at times. An impressive return from the band, though the over-the-top nature of the slamming and blasting does give it an occasional silly vibe.
