EP (2007)
(Reviewer: Paul Bolton)
Back when this demo was released in 2007, Mass Extinction seemed to be riding on a wave of popularity, supporting their heroes Exodus, Destruction and Sodom amongst others in their native Ireland. And the influences from those bands are plain to see on ‘Creation’s Undoing’. It’s a shame that there’s been no sign of an album on the back of this release, because it certainly shows promise. The demo contains three surprisingly well-produced, straightforward thrashy numbers that tick all the boxes with a big black marker pen labelled “aggressive thrash”. It all sounds very professional, but it is hardly anything new or particularly interesting. However, if you’re after some solid headbanging material, you can’t go far wrong in picking this up. Here’s hoping that these obviously skilled blokes manage to pull an album out of their collective hats in the near future.
