Remember the keyboardist from dr acula? This is his new band "Kissing Candice" I listen to their new music video and became a fan from there it had that creepy/scary vibe going on which drew me in. It's like Horror in music. After that I bought the EP and fell in love with it from there. One thing I love is the fact that each song has that horror feel in beginning of the song. The intro in almost every song has a movie skit in it and then the band start playing. If you like the horror feeling in music. You'll probably love this band and this EP in a heartbeat!
Track-By-Track review for this. Like I do for every EP.

"Ornti"
The intro track to the EP. The intro to the song itself is kinda creepy and it shows how heavy this EP is going to get. The vocalist's screams sound sorta like a demon in a way. It's different style. This bands style is different in general though i guess that's another reason I like it. It's not the same old same old.
Breakdown:
Screams: Mostly screams (I guess that you can call them) in the song, The vocalist has a different style something new. Pretty good fit for the "horror" look
Instruments: This song is pretty heavy there's some synth in it. I like the drumming though.

"Rampage!"
This song after the intro got me excited. It started off fast and heavy then the vocalist started and it slowed down. The cleans come into play also which is cool it shows it won't be only screams they'll be a mixture of things. Near the end there's another skit then a breakdown possibly my favorite part of the song,
Breakdown:
Screams: Longer screams more screams still sounds like a demon though. I really enjoy the screams this band has a different form and style.
Cleans: There's a few cleans in this which is cool. It's not only screams it's a mixture of things.
Instruments: At the start after the intro. It goes really fast  and heavy then slows down gets a bit softer something I really enjoyed

"H.H.S"
I kind of want to find out what movie they get the intros from I’m guessing some horror movies. I'd love to find out though. I think each intro may fit with the songs meaning? This song talks about "virgin apparel" over and over again. More cleans in this as well. I love the intros building up the breakdowns though it really makes the breakdown seem different.
Breakdown:
Screams: More screams than cleans, Demon style sounds angrier in this song though
Cleans: A few parts are clean vocals in this song. Maybe if they added more on a full-length, it'd be even better than it already is.
Instruments: Somewhat heavy in this; kind of sounds the same in every song, but some songs are a bit heavier.

"Reasons"
The intro isn't a skit from a movie it's snyths that sounds kind of trippy and then heavy drumming along with some type of edited vocals that make it sound like it's coming from a microphone. Then the screams come in and it gets heavier and angrier. 
Breakdown:
Screams: A Small bit of screams in this song.
Cleans: If you can call the edited microphone vocals clean, then that's all the cleans in the song. But it sounds pretty cool. It kind of makes the song come alive
Instruments: A bunch of synth in this, I like that though because it adds more sound to song. But it's a pretty heavy song for the bit the drums and bass and guitar are in.

"Hunt For The Engineer"
The intro is a girl screaming, lovely isn't it? Then it started with some good guitar riffs and then the vocalist comes in and everything gets heavy the synth is in this; it adds to the horror of the song and makes it come alive. The bit of high screams was pretty good to listen to then the skit "haha" was a good touch.
Breakdown:
Screams: The screams were the same besides the little high you hear in the middle of the song.
Cleans: The clean vocalist is near the end more in this song to end it off.
Instruments: Synths in this. I really like the synth in all honesty, it just fits well with the sound of the band. It's a heavy song though. The end intro track really matched the song title.

Rating: 7/10
