Shame these guys broke up, they had some excellent material, including this dandy of an EP. Escapism set the tone initially for the band, as the heavy-yet-heartfelt riffs, poetic lyricism, and heartbreaking vocals were in abundance even then. This is especially apparent on opener "Orbiter", which for all intents and purposes defined their early sound and set the rest of the EP (and by extension their entire discography) into motion. The production is quite good for a hardcore EP, packing the needing punch for the music. It's a tight, well-written debut EP for one of the best hardcore bands in the 2010's. R.I.P.
