Cyanide Paradise - Reach For The Stars (EP 2019)

Cyanide Paradise's "Reach For The Stars" EP certainly gets the job done. At some points it suffers from too many quiet or soft parts, but the overall makes up for it. Crushing solos, the melodies are mostly melancholic and ominous.  Drums are clean, sheer and powerful. Several times the drums are given the main stage. The 4 tracks on this Ep are fine pieces of music. As far as solos are concerned, I have no complaints. Martin knows how to deliver the goods inthe style of Cyanide Paradise. He doesn't go cheap on them. The riffs are pummeling throughout almost the entire EP, not too fast, but heavy enough. Vocalist Linn Liv, she does a nice job on these songs. Sounding really pissed off, she lets loose a cannon of guttural roars that put most Death Metal vocalists to shame. She delivers a raw feeling that suits the band quite well for the release. It sure can make your feet stomp and head bang. At overall look, the EP is pretty good, highly recommended to contemporary metal fans.
