4.0 excellentzaruyache | December 9th 20

Canadian folk black metal of the american vein which combines pounding black metal riffs
and spaghetti western folk music to tell tales about Mexican heroes. While being a short
EP at only ~16 minutes long across four tracks there isn't much room to fully flesh out
the folk and black metal sections, respectively, a la Alda, but it does definitely
provide a nice example of a band using their ~4 min runtimes well, and makes me
exceptionally hopeful for a full-length from them in the future.

If you were looking for more cowboy black metal, this should be next on your
list.

4.0 excellentdidnt ask to be staff, was made staff anyway, then got demoted for not doing staff stuff | October 10th 20

This EP is a mixed bag. In just four songs you have a set of rather generic black metal tropes, but the band keeps throwing you a curveball, changing up the dynamic of a song, adding a guitar solo or an atmospheric moment, keeping things fresh. But upon revision you may find yourself just skipping ahead to those memorable parts, rather than sitting through the sour repetition. I am inclined to a positive grade on this, but it is still a mixed bag. Certainly looking forward to the band expanding the interesting experimental moments in the future and releasing a really friggin' great record.
