Thrive!” with one called “Create, Don’t Replicate” and while it doesn’t have a guest like Björn “Speed” Strid of Soilwork or Six Feet Under bassist Jeff Hughell, it is another lethal dose…

I can’t wait to hear a full length out of this band. This EP and the prior Therapy speak of how directly, deeply satisfying it has the potential to be, and Māra feel like a band who are going to have ever more and more to give and say going forward.

Self Destruct is another razor sharp set of rock-solid tunes that has a great deal to give any listener.
