Released: 2021
Genre: Stoner rock, Metal

Homeland: Sweden
Track Overview:
1. Cyanide Nights (5:06)
The album kicks off with some sweet Black Sabbath-like riffs, then the raw vocals come crashing in. The vocal performance of Anders Lundin has a Venom quality which injects an angry tone to the album. Plus, the aquatic bass work is a nice touch.
2. Reign of Fear (3:57)
Another quality stoner tune with great bouncing rhythm. It's like stoner rock meets punk.
3. Vintern 1867 (6:04)
There's some welcome exploration in this song. With the addition of synths and some open space jamming, this track has a 70s anti war psychedelic vibe. The angst vocals remain a constant as the contrast is great on this tune.
4. Creatures of Doom (6:09)
A sludgy tune with moments of stoner rock bliss, a great closer to the EP.
