2 stars My first exposure to the music from the two Dol projects after I did an interview with it's founder last year.

Well, I am not that surprised about what I hear. Both Dol projects has a cyber science-fiction theme running through them and that is what we get. Cyber goth metal with female vocals and some synths. It is my understanding this is cover versions of some songs. I recognise the classic Amorphis track Black Winter Day whose got the Dol Ammad treatment here. That with synths and female vocals. This is a radical departure from Amorphis version from 1994 or there about. And it is not an improvement on Amorphis version. But it is still the best song here by miles. The rest of the album is, to say at least, radical. The phrase "organic sound" does not apply to this EP.

The quality is not that great. I have mentioned the best song here. The rest is dubious and simply not my cup of tea. Goth Metal with opera vocals and tonnes of synths is not my cup of tea at all. In particular when also techno also dominates the last half of this EP. You have been warned. But I guess some of you will purchase this EP based on my warning too. Each to their own. *smile*.
