Shy Of The Depth - the newest installment from Basick's growing selection of fresh talent debut with their self titled EP, displaying a fierce passion and relentless talent for modern 'technical' metal.

The CD features the Brighton based five-piece showing their teeth with a malicious style of complex structures and virtuosic instrumentation, while vocalist 'Eddy-B' fronts the band with alternating screeches and growls. Throughout the record Shy of the Depth exercise a vast multitude of riffs and licks, ranging from the sporadic thrashy-stylings of Sikth and Between The Buried And Me, to the mechanical rhythmic patterns of Meshuggah and Oceansize, and prove that they can pull all it off with discipline and good musicianship. Courtesy of Dan Weller and Justin Hill of Weller-Hill Productions (former members of like-minded metal outfit Sikth) the E.P is very well recorded and mastered, complimenting each member of the band individually.

Shy Of The Depth show a great deal of potential through their impressive musical ability and adventurous compositional style, however it would be good to hear some slightly more original ideas in the future and to see them progress into a more unique territory of sound.
