    The 5 song pre-release demo entitled Symphonic Externalities is a tight album. The music balances heavy, distorted rhythms, blazing leads, and pleasant melodies. An appreciation of the vocals, however, must be acquired. Vocalist Scott Waters, an almost perfect clone of Exodus' singer, has a high pitched, shrieking style that some may find annoying. Despite this, however, it's a good album.
