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.

The groovy bass is perfect.
The vocals are undeniable one of the best of the genre.
Drums and guitars are exactly to the point.
Coherence and catchiness despite the fully intended and neatly integrated disharmony elements make it a finest piece of art.
Every song has a unique and completely different sound concept. This way the whole album receives an extremely high variety and is seemingly too short…
…For me, it is a clear recommendation to buy this EP as well as its predecessor
It’s not often that a band from the Baltic Region appears on our radar but following the success of both Jinjer and Infected Rain in recent times, the rise of the critically acclaimed MĀRA from Riga, Latvia is an intriguing one…

A few seconds pass and the song (“Label Me Insane”) explodes through my shitty speakers and vomits forth heavy metal gold, yeah I dig it! If you want new metal to listen to then this is the album for you…
