The band is at their best when getting all glorious on "From the Ashes" and the EP's finale, "The Perpetual Myth" itself, which is akin to Dimmu Borgir having a jam off against Bal-Sagoth. Often the band will break for some more mischievous sequences in which they showcase different tempos and an increased use of the piano/synth, and these work quite nicely in the compositions and remind one of older Arcturus. I'll be honest that I discovered only a few memorable riffs here, but the band is concrete and talented, and it's only a matter of time before they hit those right notes and launch themselves into the stratosphere. I'll be listening.
Highlights: The Perpetual Myth, From the Ashes, Ruins
Verdict: Indifference [6/10]
