Cost: 99¢
Just a short mCD. "Experiment Report" is black/death with a Japanese-sounding melody interwoven into the guitarwork and chanted background vocals, making it more Oriental sounding than the other tracks. The other two songs are blackened (mostly due to the vocals) melodic death metal. They use additional gang/chorus vocals (almost like what you might expect from Japanese punk/HC/thrash) more heavily on "Lick the Picture," which seems like an unconventional (but not that bad-sounding) choice. The main vox themselves as well as the method of layering vocal styles reminds me a little of the vocals on early Chthonic stuff. Quite a nice little find--the short length means they don't wear out their welcome, and the various backing vocals add just enough of an exotic touch to raise this above generic melodeath and cookie-cutter black/death hybrids.
