AUTOMATIC DEATH PROTOCOL

Vicious deathcore that's all gas and no brakes. 

Not much to say about this EP—six brutal songs that are somehow heavier and more relentless than the material on RGS. I like the mixing on this one a tad more, as the guitar tracks sound a little more clear and have room to breathe. The two vocalist setup bangs, and there is a surprising amount of technicality to be found, even if this is a maximalist version of deathcore with breakdowns galore. 

Only complaint is that the features don't do much for me. I'm not huge into the deathcore scene, as I really only dabble in Pyscho Frame, Darko, and occasionally Spite and Chelesa Grin, so I wasn't familiar with the guest vocalists for some of the tracks, but personally, I prefer the original two vocalists exclusively, like in RGS.

They have captured an old-school MySpace-era sound and turned it up to 100 along with that disgusting snare, but I am curious to see how this translates into a full-length LP that is in the works. Maybe some experimentation or soft interludes like Darko did on Dethmask pt. 2 to break up the aggression.
