Once again Meat Distributors has yet another fine taste of their fast paced, guitar driven, menacing industrial beef! This older EP has some excellent sounds on it as in track one, Nocturnal, a buzzing racey synthy work -- again excellent vocals by Lance Hayes (his voice is very good, on key always, and great lyrics). God is Not Afraid continues in the Meat tradition with Lance singing his heart out about god's personality...He's not afraid...OH BOY! Not even after all the atrocities he's created in the world? HOW COULD HE? This track has good drumming, a sweet melody to it, tasty guitars and a driven beat that won't let you down. Stop This Hope is a tad faster than the other two tracks (166bpm) and winds its way thru darker guitar, harmonic vocals, lightly treated in a most appealing way. Synths whirr to the backbeat and wind their way into your brain, leaving you wondering where the other 12 tracks are to this fine taste treat of a few of Meat Distributors excellent compositions!
