Strongly executed modern hard rock, but its melodic turns and sequencing stay within a familiar band template rather than giving the EP a distinct arc.

What we noticed

  • “New Devil” opens with a heavier attack and a guest vocal from Maria Brink; the title track shifts toward a more melodic, chorus-led hard-rock sound.
  • “Miles Away” eases the intensity before “Find Myself” closes the four-track sequence, making the middle-to-end stretch less forceful than the opener.

Influence 2/10

Little footprint beyond its audience. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
