Reissued a year after its initial release with two extra tracks attached, this EP by the Japanese heavy psych rock band of Eternal Elysium finds them melding thick atmospherics with quick-moving riffs, in a stepping-stone between their 2009 Within the Triad and 2016 Resonance of Shadows LPs.  Hard-plugging bass lashes, wide and warm guitar licks, and deep but flexible drum-work join the passionate vocals for a comfortable set of songs that bypass fuzz crutches in favor of genuine instrumental skill and the members playing off of each other in fun ways.  Good stuff throughout, though the CD version does end up feeling too short.
