Next up are "Fake Messiah" and "Grace." Both feature pounding rhythms and precision drumming. "Grace" starts with a melodic acoustic guitar piece then jumps right into thick guitars, thumping drums, and overlapping vocals while finishing with a laid-back guitar solo.

"Broken Hands" and "Dead Seeds" are groovy head banging tracks with the latter offering a southern style of riffage. The quick tempo of "Everything to Nothing" will get your attention at the start and won't let go. The solo near the middle and the riff at the end are perfect examples of the masterful fretwork on this album.
