The third track, “Fall Of The Morning Star” is a whole different demon. Much faster pacing, heavier and sharper guitar melodies, occasional blast beats and deep grunts that make this a death metal artifact full of demonic power! On to Ne Ergo Dimittas’s title tune, a blackend death metal song with lengthy instrumental parts and vocalist K combining his typical grunts with harsh black metal shrieks and guitarists D and H playing some groovy new wave inspired riffs in the song’s middle part which give this track a more upbeat feel. And finally there’s “Collapsing Whispers,” a melodic death metal finale that even made me think of Amon Amarth with the attention grabbing barbaric grunts and the overall orchestral like melodies before finally exploding into one final barrage of blast beats and epic guitar work, leaving me begging for more!

All things considered, I’m pretty damn impressed by this young band’s first EP. Hudic’s debut is a short but very varied cocktail of doom, death and black metal with a groovy and sometimes even orchestral feel. Their music is engaging and atmospheric, the vocals are crystal clear yet still pack enough demonic vibe to further amplify the EP’s overall macabre feel. And given the pictures I’ve already seen from these guys, they also have a taste for the visual aspect. Coming on stage all dressed in dark monk robes and engulfing the stage in fire and darkness!
