Track list:
1. My Sadistic Beast
2. Hour Glass















Genre: Metal
For Fans Of: As I Lay Dying, Norma Jean, Oh, Sleeper

Second release from My Ransomed Soul two songs that kind of show you what direction they’re going in, it’s not really that bad, just kind of different from their first release vocally and it’s not as heavy as it. If anything they went from a Death Metal band to a Metal band with deathcore style vocals. Their instrument play has gotten better from the first release though, which is always good for bands, they’re growing up and maturing in their careers, I can’t say this is a terrible release, but if you’re a fan of their first stuff, I don’t know how you’ll feel about this release it’s a bit different.

“Sadistic Beast”
First song on this two song ep, I’d have to say this was straight forward with their new sound, nothing is held back, you can hear how they've changed very quickly which is a plus and a downfall, their screams aren't as deep as they once were. The song isn't that bad in all honesty, kind of wish it was a little longer if anything.
Breakdown:
Screams: The screams aren't as deep as they were on the first release, but it’s still better than  nothing, if anything the vocals improved to a metal fit.
Instruments: The instrument play isn't bad either they've gotten more of a flow to them than they had on the first release.

“Hourglass”
Last and second on this very small ep, the ep isn't that bad, it kind of gives you more of a feel to the next release. I really wish didn't change as much as they did, it’ll take a while to kind of get used to the changes for fans that really liked the first release a lot.
Breakdown:
Screams: The screams sound low,  but not as low as they did on the first release at all, the screamer in my opinion, shouldn't have changed his style at all, it wasn't expected to hear the change at all on this small ep, but you’ll have to get used to it if you’re an old fan of the band.
Instruments: The instruments kind of got heavy on this song, not really a bad thing kind of going back to their roots from the first release, but if anything it doesn't sound like a death metal band anymore just a straight forward metal band, hoping the next release is a bit different.
