This release is a bit of a head-scratcher. The band dropped an EP last year that contained the majority of these tracks, and aside from two new additions (one being a full song and the other an interlude), what you're essentially getting is the same EP repackaged. The tracklist is rearranged, but the songs themselves remain unchanged — no new mixes, no fresh arrangements. It’s as if the band decided to release the same material again, but with a fresh coat of paint.

If you’ve already heard the EP, you’re not going to find much new here. The songs are still long, drawn-out tracks that maintain a heavy, slow hardcore sound. While they do sound sonically solid, with decent vocal performances, the lack of any real updates makes this album feel like a retread. There’s no significant evolution or exploration of new ideas here, which leaves the whole release feeling a bit redundant.

The new song included in the mix doesn’t really deviate from the band’s established formula. It still carries the same heavy, slow-paced hardcore vibes you’ve come to expect from the group. That being said, the pacing in this new track is pretty well done, and the transition from the previous song into the interlude creates a smooth flow. The interlude, in particular, introduces an interesting robotic, impending doom atmosphere, which is a nice touch — though it ends abruptly and feels more like filler than an essential part of the album. It’s almost as if the interlude was thrown in just to pad out the album’s runtime.

At the end of the day, if you’ve already listened to their EP, you pretty much know what to expect from this album. It doesn’t introduce anything particularly groundbreaking or new, so if you’re a fan of the original release, you’ll likely still enjoy the tracks. However, for anyone who hasn’t heard the EP, this album may come off as redundant. It's essentially the same songs, just repackaged with a couple of extras that don’t necessarily add anything substantial to the overall experience.

In conclusion, it’s a release that feels like more of a cash grab than a meaningful expansion of the band’s sound. If you’re craving something new or innovative, you won’t find it here. But for fans looking for a bit more of what the band already offered, this album does its job — albeit without pushing any boundaries.
