"Aberration of Mind" is a fine representation of the genre with top-notch songwriting, pitch-black atmosphere, and some absolutely wicked guitar work. The blasting and axe slaughter is above reproach, yet it’s the catchy choruses on tracks like the EP openers "Contra" and "Mother of All" will get you every time. The pace change-ups and arrangement variety (across 5 original tunes, no less) makes the EP that much stronger. The sickening slow-to-mid-tempo ooze that is "A Theist" not only serves as the perfect end-point. Apocryfal’s Aberration of Mind EP is just well-written, superbly performed Finnish-style death metal. Apocryfal has made an EP that comes with a lot of meat on the bone. Devour it, and savor it. Mastering of this EP was done by none other than Dan Swanö (Bloodbath, Edge Of Sanity, Witherscape)
