Nevermore - In Memory EP

Making up the other piece of the demo which got them their record deal, In Memory was released as a limited edition E.P. to tide us over to the next release. Usually, I don't really get into E.P.s, as they don't really offer much "new", but here I make an exception. The one new track (Optimist or Pessimist) is also the quickest in pace, hinting as to what's to come. Some really inspired drumming by Williams really allows the axework to float on its own. The mix is jus tright as well, not letting Dane's voice overpower the feel of the songs. A pretty dark E.P., but man does it just kill. There's an undercurrent of power here which just surges through you. I just find myself completely carried away by the music, and that doesn't seem to happen as much as it should anymore.
