Unfortunately, the music here is more of the overly technical sort with little to no structure to the individual songs. Instead the technicality is the star of the show. Featuring hyper blasting drums and sweeping guitar lines and guttural roaring vocals, there is very little pretty here. This is much closer to groups like Brain Drill than Atheist. I have seen comparisons to Origin, but as technical as they are, Origin still managed to put together some damn good songs. The musicians in Djin are extremely talented, I will absolutely not take that away from them, but so much of the album is simply devoted to making as much noise as possible and showing off their chops rather than being focused on making a good and memorable album.
This is an extremely short release, which is definitely in its favor. It is far better for releases of this style to be short and not overstay their welcome. Unfortunately, once it is over, the only thing I can really remember is that there were a lot of sweeps and noodling with the guitar and blasting drums. This is a fine release if extremely technical death is desired, but do not go looking for a lot of melody and memorability.
