03. From Wound To Scar
A review by
Lucas February 06, 2008
So that means an atmosphere alternating between creeping tension-rising riffs and soothing, relaxing and tranquil instrumentals. The first two tracks, "Inhale" and "Exhale", are a perfect example of this. "Inhale" has an intro that floats in between a mellow greeting, and a disturbing, nervewrecking sung mantra. There is an inevitable horrific event bound to happen, but what? A creepy, eerie feeling that crawls underneath your skin. A guitar howls chilling feedback and there is an mysterious sign of an impending burst in the air. And though you've been warned and prepared, it overwhelmes you.
Distorted guitars assault your ears and a harsh, twisted voice is heard among the thundering drums of the storm. After the first violent whirlwinds have settled down ago, clean vocals wail of the despair, and you are again sucked deep into the vortex. There is no possible escape, but to survive through the experience.
And the third song, "From Wound To Scar", is just as good. So is there anything left to critize? The hardcore-ish, post-metal whirlwind of music is of course not something they have thought of by themselves. But actually, very few good bands to it as good as they do. My biggest issue is than that this début EP is too short for my liking. Which is of course hardly a point of criticism at all, for a début EP of a one-year-old band. I truly hope they can continue making music like this, and I'm anxiously awaiting the next offering of this promising band!

As I'm writing this, our drummer and guitarist are recording drumtracks for a more official promo release of tracks Unconscious, Tear and Nerves, and a completely new track "Hostile Environment" is in the works.

We'll see if it will be for sale. Though, sooner or later we will put something out for sale, but as for when, I can't say. At the moment the important thing is to get gigs

I loved your music but I think the growl vocals are a little out of place. The songs inhale and from wounds to scars are relaxing as hell and have really good melodyes. You should work more also in the changes, the intro inhale with exhalate should have a more measured change when the distortion enters same for the other song. Loved your band it has a really amazing style to be crafted. 8.5/10 for me just for the points I made beside that i would give a 10.
