“Aspect of Creation is our second EP, and we are very excited to share it with the world. As a band, we have been through a lot together. We have had a couple of member changes over the last couple of years, which changed the dynamic of the group. We currently have a roster that works very well creatively and feels like family. This EP is our testament to that. The sound and style have become more refined, our vision for our music, more clear. We mesh melody with brutality, to tell a story and take you on a journey.” – Param-Nesia

“this ep are 4 songs that display technical skill, musical diversity, and a fuck ton of power!” – Tom’s Reviews (EP Review 2019 – The Beginning)
=========================
The EP as a whole:
Heavy, melodic, groovy, takes you on an adventure. It is somehow mechanical and soulful at the same time, a bionic metal fuckfest.
Track by Track explained:
Pestilence of Man – Crushing despair overcome, this track offers some pounding riffs with precision drumming, and brutal vocals to kick off the EP.
Forsaken – Takes things in a more melodic direction, a bit more flair in the melodies, while still retaining the heaviness of the intro track. Distinguished by the harmonies and leads with savage vocal accompaniment, and a powerful outro.
Lethocerus – Straight up rhythmic brutality. This one pounds from start to finish, with very little room to sit still.
Home – This one really builds a bridge between the melodic realms and the heavy smashing riffs. Lyrics describe an eternal, inescapable tomb of ones own design, trapped while endlessly decaying away, forever witnessing the passing eons. Dark and poetic.
Journey to Nothing – The pinnacle outro track, captivatingly harmonious, this song covers the spectrum of influences and inspirations of the band, offering shear pulverizing percussive sections, beautifully orchestrated strings, and powerful vocals commanding your attention.
=========================
Story Angles – Fun Facts:
1. Founded in 2016, Derek Hill and Andy Cahalin started jamming in a snowboard shop after hours. Real waxy.
2. Matthew Burnham and Derek Hill are lifelong friends that played in a band together back in high school in a different province.
3. Cayle Charlton and Andy Cahalin first crossed paths at Loud as Hell festival in Drumheller, but didn’t realize it until years after being in a band together.
4. Andy Cahalin’s wife helped research and find a cheap jam space and book their first tour, due to her thrifty nature.
