In the first of this EP’s two tracks (”Astral Death”), Dö assemble a keening pounder of doom, circling around a central riff that receives increasingly brutal add-ons over the course of its repetitions.  Rumbling bass and hard-beaten hi-hats serve up the most dominant parts of the soundscape, while toothy guitar gnashes about in its near-submersion and phlegmy growls add nasty texture. 

“Astral Birth” takes the B-side with a tabla-like rhythm section, phasing guitar, and vocal drones, making the shift into psychedelic while maintaining its heaviness.  If anything, the stripped-down nature of the second track gives its weighty elements greater impact, though it probably wouldn’t hit as hard without the mess of busy work the first side offers.  But put together, the two tracks reach a level of complementary boosting that few singles achieve (with the closing climax making excellent use of a riff pull from the beginning), so kudos to Dö.
