    Out of Finland comes Anchor with this six song EP. Musically they offer groovy metal. The vocals vary from clean singing (often with a wailing tone to it) to raw singing, but not screaming. The title song is a good example of the band's sound. You can hear a variation of acoustic parts and heavier stuff and some faster stuff. But most of their music isn't the speedy kind of music. Quite an energetic start has Search. The music often has a depressive mood, which is apparent in a song like Broken Day. The quality of the recording is good, though not exceptional. Good for a first introduction.
