I believe this is my favourite band from Austria. I really enjoyed their previous Ep, Consequence, and I've been meaning to put this one the blog for a while now, 'cause it's awesome as hell, but always forgot about it. While their previous had a little touch of melody in it, they kinda stepped away from that on this 3songed Ep, which is an odd decision nowadays since everyone wants to make melodic hardcore, though I find it a good decision, a really good one. Pissed-off, groovy riffs and super sweet vocals. Love it

I've been looking for this Ep quite some time and I finally found it. These five young guys from Austria bring you a rather hard and rough version of melodic hardcore, but in my eyes not hard enough to call them (melodic) metalcore. I love the riffs, it varies from the typical melodic hardcore riffs, to some sort of southern riffs and from time to time the basic hardcore riffs. The vocals also caught my attention; very hard and filled with passion, which I consider as a good thing for a melodic hardcore band. I really enjoy the last song of the Ep (Consequence), the first part of the song is really calm with spheric guitars combined with powerfull vocals on the background and after two minutes the stacked up energy finally releases itself, lots of emotion in this song! Definitely keep your eyes open for these guys in the future.
