Intricate and complex Heavy/Thrash, all the songs are pretty damn good and the musicianship is absolutely top notch. A complex sound but also extremely catchy and memorable. The drumming on this piece it is complex as hell and we can never predict what he is going to do next. He also doesn't overuse the double bass pedals, which is a clear plus in my books. Curiously, the double bass pedals sound 'clicky', which proves that 25th Mission is very influenced by Metallica's “And Justice For All”. The vocals adopts a melodic approach to the majority of the songs, which turns out to be great but he also sounds pretty aggressive. The guitar work is varied: the songs include clean guitar segments, where the guitar player really show that he can also play some beautiful lines sometimes. Curiously, their sound isn't pure thrash or heavy Metal, some songs are more midpaced, containing a mix of calm and gentle guitar lines being accompanied by some melodic vocals. After that, the heavy main riffs kick you in the balls. It's pretty damn good. The production is also incredibly strong, the guitar sounding is powerful, the voice is killer and the drums and bass are present in a brutal way. So, concluding, this is a great Ep and definitely recommended to every metalhead out there who likes aggressive metal. Be sure you check this out!!
