On their second EP (not counting the original demo), the Australian group of She Beast share four tracks of dirty doom sludge, gurgling growls and down-tuned guitars colliding with hard-pounded drums and a thick bass slather. Jumps to quick tempos are mostly kept to the shorter songs, and the EP follows an alternating pattern of a ~3-minute track followed by one about seven minutes long, making for a neat split of sides if this had ever received physical release. The longer songs maintain a heavy grinding pace, so the avoidance of getting stuck on one vibe for too long by switching back and forth helps quite a bit. Solid stuff in fast or slow mode, with a genuinely grimy feel to the sound and some surprisingly hooky riffs.
