As of writing, this is the only EP released by Dödsrit and their first ever release. They would go on to release three albums afterwards, releasing in 2018, 2021 and 2024, respectively.
The digital version was sold through Alerta Antifascista Records, a record label focusing not on genre but on being on the correct side of history.
The first track, Endless Circle already features most of what makes us love Dödsrit today: Crusty drums, beautiful melodies, tormented vocals and that cold, foresty feel. Especially the interlude in the middle of the track is a treat to even non-metal fans, and hearing the song finish off on such a melancholic note from there is just simply wonderful.
Svard aska, the shortest track on the EP with "only" 5:39 is one of their most frequently played tracks live coming from the solo days. Usually, their setlist consists only of tracks from Mortal Coil and Nocturnal Will, at least since the release of the latter. The inclusion of Svart aska is in my opinion the best though, as it fits the setlist length a lot better than their other iconic tracks while also not lacking in "Dödsrit-ness" at all. The end of the track is a bit abrupt though; something that other Dödsrit tracks do better.
Second-to-last track on the EP and taking up 11:16 out of 29 minutes, we have The Void. While I like the song, it just doesn't hit in the same way that the rest of their discography does. It's drums are mostly boring compared to other tracks even on the same release and to me this is just "not as good", not "bad".
Lastly, Gräva sin egna grav. Probably the darkest track on the album, at least sound-wise (I can't judge the lyrics, as I don't speak Swedish). The melodies portraied here are both hopeful and melancholic as per usual, but for some reason, this time is feels more sinister. Especially the outro reminds me a bit of the bittersweet ending to The Realm of the Elderlings book series, which I won't spoil here.
