A band you can't ingnore

Opener 'Prototype' is fast and hard, this one hits you and the decks running with the ability to force its statement into your face, knock you down and make you get up and ask for more. Combining whip-crack vocals with bass bombing sound this opener is not for the faint hearted. Following hard on its heels is 'God Fearing'. Mixing a metal rhythm with a layer of melody this is a juggernaut of a number that once your in the pit won't let you out.

'Three (1)' A very dark and unusual instrumental track that will make you want to sleep with the light on. There is definitely a 'don't look behind you' feel here as the atmospherics in the music build. There is no real crescendo though and you are left wondering if there is anything out there in the shadows.

'Judas Iscariot' is again a number that is heavy on both beat and in dark content, with a certain twitch to the drumming that provides something very disturbing. 'Beg To Differ' continues this heavy theme and does not let up . The drumming here sounds like the band are trying to re-enact the battle of the Somme. This one holds you enthralled.

'Three (2)' continues with the instrumental scene, but this time reinforcing what the first one did with heavier imagery. 'Black Mask' and 'Calm' are slightly more thrashing guitar led songs, but there is still plenty of room for those drums from the Somme to open up and they take full advantage of this going into barrages of terrifying proportions at points.

'Three (3)' moves forward in a relentless nerve jangling way. Revealing yet more of that which lurks. Hide all sharp objects at this point.'Transparent' moves through hard core to melodic metal and makes almost anthemic use of guitars. Then 'Uzimaki' slams into you like a freight train. You get scraped up and then thrown in front one coming the other way. This number is a clarion call to all head bangers, helicopter heads and mosh pit monsters.

Finally 'Three (4)' delivers you up like some kind of 'meat fest' sacrifice. Don't worry about what's behind you now 'cause its big brother just got you from in front.

End Of Everything show that they are a band you cannot ignore. The presence that they convey in this album is one of dark strength.
