Starseed - Cosmic Conspiracy (1997)

This is some pretty decent melodic death with a bit of a symphonic edge. For 1997, it's a pretty impressive release. I'm surprised they never did anything beyond this (supposedly they split up in 2000 while recording their first full-length). Anyway, the music is death metal with some infusion of melody, pretty standard for the late 90's. About the only complaints I have are that some of the guitar solos are a little dodgy and that it's missing that little extra something to really grab my attention. So while I enjoyed listening to this, I doubt that I'll listen to it again.

By the way, this EP is available for free download on the band's MySpace page.
