    Deep Insight is the new band from former V.I.P. guitarist Johannes Ylinen. But instead of metal this five song EP contains a mix of styles. But it also presents itself as a concept EP about the suicide of Julia. The story comes forth as a court case with various exhibits. If this was molded into a novel, it would be a psychological novel. So, let's call this music psychological rock, just to label it. The first exhibit is a blood spatted page from Julia's diary. Musically this is alternative rock that starts mellow while distorted guitars join later. The next song has only piano and vocals with additional keyboards. The last three songs are heavier again with influences ranging from grunge to emocore, but overall it's a mellow album. It's not bad.
