The three tracks of this EP (in order, “8″, “9″, and “7″) play in a proggy vein of sludge metal, with nimble string movements matching violent drumming and bellows while the bass churns out a thick undercoating.  Enough moments of resonance absorption are tucked in to let the music effectively manage its heaviness, and the ramping to more punkish ferocity comes as a natural escalation.  Good stuff on the whole, though it does end up feeling kind of torn between which of its two extremes to give more focus.
