Circle of Contempt - Entwine The Threads

So as an avid fan of these guys since releasing their previous album "Artifacts In Motion", I was very happy to see a new EP teaser coming out of the Circle of Contempt camp.  The teaser was released about a week ago and features some great artwork associated with the upcoming release, as well as some new teaser material (great guitar tones and sync!) that you'll expect to hear on the EP.  

The big buzz around the 5 song EP ("Entwine The Threads") is that it is being produced by Sami Raatikainen of Necrophagist, which holds some major weight in this genre of metal.  Now, not personally a fan of Necrophagist currently, but I know the intense amount of skill and technicality the band has, so that in itself is an admirable quality I am looking forward to hearing translated into new CoC.

For those new to the band, Circle of Contempt consists of:

Risto-Matti Toivonen - Guitar | Markus Karhumäki - Bass | Joni Kosonen - Guitar | Denis Hautaniemi - Vocals | JP Kaukonen - Drums

1. Entwine The Threads

2. Dare To Defy

3. Transient Belief

4. To Entitle Vacancy

5. Perceive The Mendacity

"All the songs on "Entwine The Threads" are rock solid and offer something very special to the listener. Every track is a stand out track filled with original ideas and chilling moments. I could sit here and describe the songs individually, but instead I recommend you go listen to all of the above from the opening title track to the closer "Perceive The Mendacity" as soon as possible. 

To sum things up, this EP is just plain incredible. I have no real criticisms here. Objectively, some people may not appreciate the greatness, but that's their own problem. "Entwine The Threads" is a highly recommended musical experience. If you haven't already, go out and buy this! Support great metal!" -The Circle Pit

"Entwine The Threads" will be released digitally on December 11th, 2012.  More information will be posted as it comes so stay tuned!  Pre-orders are available here.

("ps. There will be a small amount of physical copies to order from Sumerian Records store, more info about that coming soon." -CoC)
