1. Organization XIII -
This song is filled with melodic instrumentals and heavy growling vocals. In my personal opinion it is A very great opening to the EP. The guitar solo close to the end is my personal favorite part of the song, It is executed perfectly. Certain lyrics stood out to me such as the vocalist growling "I will always be better than you".

2. Forever -
This is A great example of why the band is labeled Melodic Metalcore / Post-Hardcore. This song's instrumental stands out the most to me, I also really enjoyed the introduction to clean vocals. This song in my opinion is one of the standout tracks on the EP. The vocals & instrumental connect perfectly.

3. Dead Inside -
This is A very heavy song, The vocals in this song are insanely well executed. The instrumental follows the lead of the vocals really well. The vocals & instrumental stay the same pace pretty much the whole time, it stays heavy from beginning to end.

4. Take A Bow (For The Final Curtain) -
Opening up with an extremely awesome guitar riff, This song is extremely well written. I feel like The instrumental really holds the song up, filled with crazy guitar riffs & extremely heavy drums, However the vocals keep up perfectly.

5. Monuments -
This song starts kind of softly and builds up, The vocals standout most to me. The instrumental follows to vocals very well, I really like the soft to Heavy aspect of the song. This song is one of my personal favorites on the EP.

6. Empire -
Talk about going out with A bang, This song closes the EP as heavy as Organization XIII started it. A very heavy closing track, Personally get's me pumped to hear more, I feel like this song should have maybe been in the middle of the EP, but overall closes the EP very well.

So my overall thoughts are that the EP is full of heavy melodic songs. Based on this EP I am very executed for the future of this band.

Overall Rating: 7 / 10
