Recorded in 1991, this 4-song EP is the last demo the band put out before signing to Lethal Records (and later to Avantgarde) who took it upon themselves to re-release it a year later. On their latest work "Gracefallen," the band's present incarnation embroidered their music with a gothic/romantic flavor using female vocals and keyboards, but still retained its heaviness and utmost depressing qualities. The early stuff though, was something else. No keyboards or girly singing there. Seriously heavy and just as seriously wacked. It's really appropriate to call it art-doom because of the band's twisted avantgarde propensity which made the music one really tripped, all-out bizarre listening experience. Odd vocal technics, convoluted and slow-motioned like a bad drug trip song structures, creeping and gluey to the point of being comatose guitar sound - back then (and maybe even now) there was nobody quite like them. Not for everyone's tastes, but as far as I am concerned, it is just what the doctor ordered.
