Review Summary: Blander than unseasoned tofu.

I’ll keep this brief: Goddess Wept is about as bland as you can get in a nu-djent-deathcore (is that a thing?) record. The vocals are more miss than hit, the composition is boring, the band hasn’t quite figured out what genre they’re doing, and the whole thing smells like a person who couldn’t quite cover up their body odor with the cheap cologne they are wearing. And as if that doesn’t sound obnoxious enough, there’s even a completely unnecessary (and lazy) intro track that just drives the nail into the coffin of this EP.

I could—and probably should—talk more specifics about the individual tracks and why this record is subpar, but what’s the point? I could elucidate further as to the positive aspects of Goddess Wept (and there are a few), but would it really matter? Much like packaged Grandma’s peanut butter cookies, RC Cola, or the flash dried pieces of corn in your Cup Noodles—Goddess Wept will leave absolutely no impression and probably has a bad aftertaste. If you don’t like this kind of music, avoid. If you do like this kind of music… uh… avoid?

Couldn't agree more with your review. I was really hoping for something fire from Pablo and Alex but I guess this ain't it. Nice little write up, glad to see you back doing reviews again! :D

Expected this to be awful but it kinda ain't? At least in the context of a genre I consider uniformly sub-par. Rain Bringer kinda goes.

these are fun little ep's. prefer this one to the other one. def like ashes to ashes chelsea grin but a bit more modern, very electronic sounding with some synths. wish it was less djenty and more classic dxc but it's not annoying at least. but alex is an absolute monster still, insane vocalist. his highs are still piercing and unique. i like pablo too but a bit too much here, especially on the other one. new ep tomorrow too i guess!



jamz- rain bringer (closest to classic cg), behavioral health, void, cut me, crave me (on the other ep, like an evolve b-side with less wank), identity crisis (also the other one)
