Here's a heavy EP that was recorded in March 1999 but released through Solid State only recently. The heaviness can't be found in fast rhythms (it's not fast stuff), but rather in the dark, heavy, plodding riffs. 3rd Root sounds to me like emotive hardcore played with the kind of vocalizing like the Deftones. So, the vocals are driven, slow and clear with harsh shrieking screams now and then. This you can hear in Zion, the opening-track. Spirit Of Life contains six songs which are solid though I'm still not convinced whether I really like them. I wonder if this CD will be in my CD-player very often. But this is a matter of taste. This EP is available through mail-order only.
