Lost God - Savage Souls (2009)

Featuring three songs, "Savage Souls" is one of the best EP CD's I've received in a while. Lost God hails from Belgium and they feature Arnaud Vansteenkiste Ex-Enthroned drummer, his brutal drumming skills is one of the elements that stand out the most in this release.

Professionally recorded this release mixes traditional Death Metal elements with some hints of Black Metal here and there, and while the band is not super original, they do a good job at keeping the listener engaged during the 12 minutes this EP lasts.

Like previously mentioned the drumming is pretty solid and brutal, holding all the other elements together like super glue. The guitar work features interesting riffs and catchy melodies good enough to leave the listener wanting more and waiting for the band to release a full length in the future.

"Savage Souls" is a very good first effort by this band, and if they keep up the good work they will probably be turning heads in the future with their quality music.
