About the EP
The title track opens the EP with a dense, methodical attack, pairing controlled aggression with a mechanized fury. “Carved” follows with a slower, groove-driven weight, using space and restraint to make each blow land harder. The single “The Absence Of Light” pushes back into a more direct assault, blending abrasive textures with blasting intensity and carrying the EP forward with force and precision.
“Down, Down, To Goblin Town” stands as one of the release’s defining moments, combining grinding power with a memorable structure and a vocal performance that is both sharply delivered and unrelenting. The EP also includes a cover of Mortification’s “Terminate Damnation”, reworking the classic track through Mangled Carpenter’s harsher, more contemporary lens. It closes with “Short, Sharp, Shock”, a concise and punishing finish that leaves no room for drift or excess.
If you want a glimpse of the new EP’s sound, you can already listen to “The Absence Of Light” on streaming platforms. Driven by unrelenting force and violent intensity, the song strikes with the impact of a full-scale assault. However, despite its overwhelming power, it merely scratches the surface of what the EP ultimately has to offer.
About the band
Led by Seth Metoyer, alongside Kris Olson and Mac Hine, the band builds their sound on a foundation of death metal and grindcore while pushing further into darker, more deliberate territory, shaped by atmosphere, groove and a subtle mechanized edge. The new EP promises to push the boundaries and engulf you once more in the universe built on “Salvation Syndrome”.
