The fourth release in 2012 for Venus Star multi-instrumentalist Atvar, who has some other bands and projects as well. It seems Finland has more hours than 24 hours a day and told nobody about it. “Wild Grains & Turningheads” is a murky and primitive Black/Death EP with down tuned and distorted mid tempo guitars. The track “Lesser Numbers (for the Fleer)” could be a midtempo with Polka drumbeat-like Mortician song, only with a demo sound. While “Nighteater” has a gloomy yet Black Metal repeating melody (it has a kind of siren-call feeling) line on the background which gives that particular song a nice edge. This is not for every Death/Black Metal fan as it quite obscure, but I did not have one moment to skip a track, but concerning duration, I do think an EP is long enough. (Ricardo)
