I liked Lion Splice’s first attempt at an album. There was potential to be found. Now these metalheads are back with a new EP. It’s going to be interesting to see if they’ve managed to take it one step further this time round. If they can add to the groundwork they did the first time round. I don’t know why but I come to think of Primus listening to this EP. Not that there really is that much the two acts have in common. I guess it has something to do with the bass guitar being so prominent in the sound. Other than that this is more of the same but a notch or two higher up on the ladder. There is a joyfulness and exuberance to this that spreads happiness and smiles all over the place. And that can’t be bad at any time of the day. Also I can’t shake the feeling of this being a homage of sorts. What to I’m not sure. Still it works for me and that’s enough to make me happy. Anders Ekdahl
