Snowblind is the fifth EP of German band Awake The Mutes and continues the noticable departure of earlier releases from the classic metalcore sound of the band's debut EP towards a darker, rhythm-heavy and New Metal-influenced sound. The most adventurous release to date delivers everything from the straight opener to more complex and dynamic songs for the most diverse listening experience in band history. Lyrically the EP deals with guilt, obsession, fragile arrogance, self-doubt, conscioussness and fatalism; screamed, whispered, rapped or sung. The seven tracks serve as a logical conclusion of the established sound of earlier releases while offering an outlook for the band's musical future. (Bastardized)
