Megiddon is another upcoming band from Finland. Musically this five song EP contains atmospheric metal. The vocals are in the black metal style, shrieking. It sometimes sounds like a pig going to the slaughter, screaming out in anguish. The keyboards give the music its atmosphere and black metal feel. Yet it's not pure black metal as the riffing is more straightforward metal. Nor is it fast stuff. As this is probably Megiddon's first effort, they did a fine job. Perhaps this is also due to the use of Studio Watercastle and productional help from Arttu Sarvanne (Deuteronomium, Immortal Souls, Jacks Of All Trades). Nice start for a band though.
