At first I was kind of enamored with the pretty interesting blend of ambient, edm and slam death metal this EP took, but after multiple listens the novelty of it slowly started to wear thinner and thinner and it became more apparent how relatively standard these songs where. While I definitely give kudos to Disfiguring The Goddess for being a project that is not afraid to get a little off-kilter and weird sometimes, the really claustrophobic and overly punchy production style that consistently turned me off on past records is ever so present here as well, which to me always results into some slightly grating ear fatigue. It's certainly not the worst type of production I've ever heard on a death metal record but it's not that much more preferable I have to say. Still, there's a certain brooding and dark quality about the music on here that I do like.
