Lamp's Review:
I picked up this release not having heard any of the songs, but having heard a few other songs that turned out to be from the same recording session, and was impressed by the amazing playing on this 7".  The drums are blazing fast, the music is suspenseful and filled with interesting playing, and the dual vocal attack is great.  The vocals themselves are nothing too impressive, a somewhat high scream and another mid scream, but hearing two different voices on the same song always adds to the variety.

This is some of the fastest drumming you'll hear around by a human being.  I tried drumming along to this in my house and thought I was going to pass out in the middle of a one and a half minute song, I don't know how Ove did it for long sets.  The blast beat is also not overused and sounds so clean anyway that it wouldn't bother me even if it was.  There are movie samples sprinkled throughout, some of them kind of creepy.  I was a little unnerved by the clip of the family crying loudly.  The last song on side B is a great closer, full of intensity in the guitar riffs.  If you like grindcore, this is a great short release to pick up.
