The sophomore effort is an EP instead of a full length album, which a good choice if you ask this blogger. Too many times bands have taken their whole lives to write an amazing debut, only to fall short on the next one.
The second album is a great time to begin your shift, if one happens to be coming.
Dead Register shows a good deal of growth on this record, but without losing any of that gothic flavor we've all come to know an love from them.
The structure of the songs remains rather familiar. The timbre of M R Chvasta's voice hasn't gone off into metalcore pastures (either dirty or clean). Neither Avril Che nor new drummer Danny Ryann doing anything that would put lovers of Fiber off, but listen carefully and you'll hear the difference.
They were able to use the same pieces, colors, and textures in a new way that creates the effect of casual strangeness. It feels like home, but not quite your home.
This release is like sleeping at your long lost cousin's house. It feels familiar, but it's just a tick different.
