Reapers Riddle are my kind of band, good honest rock with a slight hint of goth rolled in for good measure and hailing from Perth Western Australia.

A touch of death intro begins with a sample from a movie, then rips straight into zombiefied -a reworking of a song from their debut CD and what a great track it is, with menacing vocals and grinding guitar’s a true testament to all those B-movie horror films.

Cursed is the first new track on the EP and again, it is a good solid song with a great guitar riff. Fall Away that follows is another reworked track which is better produced than on the original demo and has a much fuller sound. It's the next song though: No Strings Attached - that for me is the best track on this EP, it's just pure rock n roll at it’s best, with a great hook and solid rhythm and sleazy filthy lyrics, this would not go amiss on any early W.A.S.P CD.

Lost In Ink this is a powerhouse of a track drifting into Anthrax territory. One Red Rose is the slowest track on the CD and a powerful song dedicated to family & friends that have sadly passed away. Clayton sings this with so much passion you can almost feel his pain, another fabulous song with a great meaning.

On the whole, what you get here is a great slice of rock n roll, if this is a taste of what is to come, then 2011 is looking like a good year for the Reapers.
