After two full lengths in 2015 and 2017, this is the band's fourth release, a short EP to keep on top of releasing new music. The release consists of four songs that are titled with Roman numerals, meaning that the release was meant to be consumed as a whole rather than a collection of songs. The songs blend together seemlessly, none of them having a distinct sound, though it is not as if there is nothing compelling or interesting here either.
The band's sound is every bit as vile and disgusting as the album cover and title would suggest. It is dark and murky with a barrage of pummeling drums and riffs that ooze out of the speakers. It is dark and hateful music that is harsh and intense. There is almost nothing pretty here. The only real moments of levity are some surprisingly melodic guitar solos in a sea of otherwise atonal, crushing sound. The album is short, the only thing merciful about the band's sound.
This is one of the creepier, grimier and most disgusting death metal releases I have heard in some time. It is evil and disturbing. I love it.
