This is an extremely short EP, more like a demo, with two proper tracks, a live cut, and an instrumental demo. Bloodwritten call themselves a Death Metal band, but to my ears, this is very Thrash, with galloping riffage and raspy but intelligible vocals. The two tracks that start this off sound pretty good, with a lot of energy and shredding riffs. The live cut might be ok, but the sound quality is absolutely awful, and I don't know why they included it here. The instrumental cut "Return to Tortuga Bay" is even less Death and more Thrash, with a slower pace and more roomy songwriting. I think this band is definitely one to watch for, because they flash enough good stuff that I want to see a full-length album.
