I'm usually not a fan of lives, but this is a record I'm always coming back to. Absolutely massive sound coming from just two guys, with the distinctive Urfaust loveliness ever-present.
Pure epic heavy metal perfection. The riffs are complimented tremendously well by the vocals and additional instruments, the programmed drums (or programmed-sounding drums) are the only bottleneck on an otherwise timeless duo of songs.
Probably one of the best speed metal bands today just because of this EP alone. Very Agent Steel-esque blend of speed and thrash, but with even more unwavering aggression.
Many thanks to Fenriz' podcast for turning me on to this release. The production is everything you could ask for in a retro metal release, with songwriting that really sets this band apart in today's bloated heavy metal scene.
