The Extended Play's (EP's) Thread

[Doomguy]

This thread is designed so we can discuss different EP's and perhaps even list some of our favourites.

I searched and couldn't find evidence of this thread before; if this is in contradiction with any other threads, I don't mind if you lock it.

I'll start by listing a few classics.

Absolutely fantastic, especially the rhythm in Stemmen Fra Taarnet which is catchy as fuck.

A very nicely done blend of death and black elements, although the cover is a little bit of a turn-off.

You'll struggle to find a hard copy, but it's readily available on many blogs. Not the best work by Electric Wizard, but still utterly cool.

Amazing; that's all that I can describe it with. A nicely trimmed slice of traditional black metal.

Leviathan - The Blind Wound might be my favorite. Pretty big departure from previous Leviathan work. Really really catchy, with some DsO-inspired dissonant guitar work. A masterful drum performance, with acoustic drums for the first time. The guitar tone is way buzzier than the usual smooth tone on most of the other releases.

I was a fan of Drudkh - Anti-Urban too. I think I like it better than any of the material after Blood In Our Wells. I wonder if the primary songwriter was different.

Oh, and Kenose by Deathspell Omega. I thought that was much, much, much better than Fas.

That Children of Maani EP is probably the best 3rd-wave BM EP ever.
