Invection are yet another in the long list of band’s resurrecting the classic thrash metal sound. This four song EP showcases a band that is obviously heavily influenced by the classic Slayer sound, though they are certainly no clones either. They also avoid the whole “Slaytanic” image offering far more interesting lyrics. The riffs are heavy, the songs are mostly fast, and the vocals are aggressive and spit out with a punk-like fury. The guitar solos are manic and creative as well. The opening instrumental acts as an opening to "Two Faced Lie", which are a great combination and excellent way to open up the CD. I would imagine these two songs would be an equally great way to open up a show. I can just picture the crowd shouting along, fists in the air as a pit breaks out in the middle of the denim and leather clad crowd. "Demented Perception" is an exercise in Thrash Metal 101. It’s too bad that the album isn’t a couple track longer. As it stands, the short six song EP leaves the listener wanting for more.
