Out of all bands singing the words in the German language the Coburn unit Varg is probably the only one that can find a way through my narrow wickets and I usually enjoy listening to what they come out with for more than just a song or two. I tend to like the band's oftentimes brutal heavy metal with a sharp and quite frequent harmonic lead guitar play on top and the way they are able to create accurate melodies in an otherwise rough environment.

This 4-track EP offers songs that are positioned in kind of a descending scale where the opener is mega awesome and the concluding one is partly too slow and just okay. But don't worry, because the music is still attacking and aggressive for the most part, with vocals that go straight in that direction too, and the band has definitely chosen to stay on the safe side and doesn't make an attempt to explore any real new depths of musical variety and basically follows the proven formula of the most recent records Guten Tag and Das Ende Aller Lügen.

So will this effort turn out as the key that takes Varg to an entirely new level of fame? Most likely not, but it's another chapter in the catalogue and the fans will absolutely be pleased with the first couple of songs and since most details in the music are identifiable with the band people will surely recognize the style when they get their hands on it.
