When a group lists their influences as The Dillinger Escape Plan and Weezer, you've got to wonder what they think they're up to. Those bands couldn't be much farther apart on the musical spectrum, and combining the major elements of both groups sounds like a dicey prospect. Well, this Japanese three-piece pulls it off, while also adding their own individual touches to these six blistering tracks. "Mujyun Ga Egaku Sekai" kicks it off, picking up the pieces of hardcore and placing them back together with a math-rock sealant. "A.F.K." and "Uninstall" follow suit, raging through complex guitar leads with rhythmic accuracy and focused frustration. After the wonderfully titled (and incredibly intense) "World of Satan Village," the group wraps up the mini-album with a couple of melodic 90's rock-esque jams, proving that they're capable of more than just the blunt force approach. It's a nice chaser to end on, and makes for a great mix of music.
