You may remember that I thought GraVil's last EP was rather awesome, so I when "Age of Corruption" arrived I was really hoping that it would be able to live up to it.
This EP manages to combine the melodies, technical brilliance and dramatic edge that "Something Worth Chasing" did so well, while still packing a punch. The title track itself is actually a superb reflection of this. Catchy, yet brutal with an epic atmosphere.
"Heviosity (Will Ensue)" is a headbanger's dream from start to finish... in fact it gives me a neckache just thinking about it. However, it's "Bottle Of Shadows" that gets the honour of being my favourite track on the EP. It's a superb musical journey from start to finish.
Overall, this is a fantast EP. My only problem is that it seems a bit short. GraVil, if you're listening (or reading!), we'd like an album please!
