UMUR
"Null" is an EP release by US progressive sludge/mathcore act Intronaut. It´s their debut release. The EP was released through Goodfellow Records in February 2006.

The music on the 5 track, 28:25 minutes long EP is progressive sludge. The delivery is very convincing and especially the rhythm section of bassist Joe Lester and drummer Danny Walker are really skilled and deliver some impressive playing along the way. The vocals are raw and shouting and there´s even a semi-growling nature about a few of the vocal parts. They generally feature a nice bite. It´s Intronaut´s well balanced songwriting where they both emphasize heavy angular riffing and more atmospheric parts that´s the band´s finest asset though. They are a really heavy and occasionally raw bunch, but they are still rather sophisticated for the genre. Their occasional jazzy leanings add an even more interesting dimension to an already great release.

The sound production is powerful and raw. It´s professional sounding and suits the music well. So you get a strong sound prodution, excellent musicianship, and adventurous songwriting on "Null" and it´s hard to say anything else than that this is a quality release. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
