This review will talk about the Sadgiqacea side of the release, even if it is a pretty meager side. Consisting of only two songs on the Sadgiqacea side, “Thy Will Be None” and “Nature's Antidote”, this release by both Sadgiqacea and Ominous Black is pretty good. I only know Sadgiqacea, partly because they held a small venue concert at a local record store a few weeks back. During the show they were very energetic and they really put on a good show. I had listened to this release the day before the concert and when I went I was surprised to find out that Sadgiqacea is, in fact, only a two-piece band. The kind of music they play is great and with only two members in the band I was very surprised at what they could do.

The music on this release is very good, especially the bass work by Evan Schaefer, who also plays guitar. They use a lot of distorted affects on the guitar, and I’m not too keen on that, but it has a good sound, and overall both the guitar and bass sound very good together. Both members of the band sing, and are quite good at it. While the style isn’t my favorite, I appreciate it very much and it has grown on me. The drumming by Fred Grabosky is pretty good, and drives the album along in a nice fashion. The production isn’t the best, and the vocals are kind of muddy, but it isn’t that bad when all is considered. All in all this is a great band that is definitely worth checking out. Their music is all for free download off of their bandcamp, so I encourage you to go check it out, you won’t be disappointed.
