Turns out this is actually a "Dream Team" band, we have a guy from Vehemence another individual who played for a couple of days with Dying Fetus and Broken Hope and one dude from Eroticide?!?!...well as far as I know there are at least two members of the almighty Nuclear Death there (you're such a noob if you don't know them and you deserve to die) and this "SIN MDK" guy obviously drank some beers with them so that's just cool as hell...so anyway, this EP is full of promises as you can see. So. did the guys take advantage of their situation?

Yes they did, the music is one intense stab in the face, it keeps on flowing and dripping like fresh blood inside a bathtub. But this thing still sounds uncooked at many segments and after 5 songs it's truly inevitable to fast forward the track just to see what else is inside the CD; the spoken passages and the bizarre addition of some "keys" kindly surprises you the first time you hear them, but as the band sets a basic mood (utter mindless brutality) those features start to sound out of place on the consequent spins...

Reign Of Vengeance did work hard with this album, they even added a concept and everything...you know? Like big bands do right?...it's about a guy who looks a little fat and even though he knows he's kinda geek he decides to propose to a really hot flat-chested cutie, she first says "YES" right there on the meadows but then realizes her husband is a bald dweeb and invites a cooler guy to their condo...she fucks the brains out of him just because he has a cool goatee while her husband is playing Zelda in the very next room, the nerdy husband obviously hears some weird "indescribable" noices and then catches them doing the "jizzle my nizzle" stuff right? He then cries like a little baby and drinks whisky right out of the bottle...after the second nip he gets incredibly drunk, goes inside, kills everyone with a thunderous hulk hogan rage, drops them in the woods and nobody ever finds out he killed them...fortunately he didn't finish his whisky because you can see him drinking from the very same bottle again while checking the tomb in the end...with fuller thicker hair...it's all right there in the booklet...

All concepts aside, the band has an eager spirit, and even if the music as a whole isn't the most original and most impressive thing I've ever heard, it's still very entertaining and it seriously fulfills my "Brutal" needs. I think it could be wise to keep and eye on this band, if they just manage to polish their sound, to get a better artwork designer and a better sound producer, they'll be undoubtedly in the next level.
