What unfortunately remains Vulture's only full-length album boldly shows an approach that seems to be based on early Immolation (especially Here in After and Failure for Gods) and a touch of Demilich on the more spacey tracks such as "Outer Entity" and "The Enigmatic Creature"; you can expect more than a touch of eerie, dissonant angularity accompanying the expected brutality. The band's highest potential, however, most clearly appears on "Chaos Magma" which boasts an undeniably epic main theme.

For those few listeners who had heard the band's only full-length, immediately preceding the Waste EP, it should seem pretty obvious that Bastard made the right decision by abandoning their fairly generic blackened death style for the more moody, mid-paced tracks such as "Delirium Tremens", "Dementia and Filth", and "InsignifiCUNT", and this opening track shines an eerie light down the seldom frequented and dimly lit path of depressive death metal.

An oppressive minor-key arpeggio motif and the later, equally oppressive tapping sequence near the end give this song an especially dark mood.

A poignant main theme that wavers between dissonance and melody; a good example of one way to do depressive death metal though the rhythms could have used more development in variation and tempo.

This is definitely the heaviest track of the Waste EP; it actually ends with a pretty crushing breakdown though I wish they'd managed to more thoroughly integrate the brutality and depressiveness throughout the song

Dark and dissonant death metal in the old school manner, free of contemporary excess.

So much more atmospheric and mood-oriented than the band's previous work; definitely shows their compositional maturation.
