As for the demo The Fragment (Piece II) the sound quality isn’t the greatest but I’ve heard much worse. Gladly enough the quality of the songs aren’t that bad at all. The Fragment (Piece II) EP start with the song ‘Crooked Path’ which immediately reminds me of an intro of Machine Head but sadly enough the rest of the song is quite mediocre.

So what about the second track ‘A Thousand Pains’ . After a rather boring intro of almost a minute the song starts with uptight drumming and a nice riff but halfway through the song they lose me completely. This song is again not bad but it’s certainly not really good.

 

Now we make a little jump to the fourth track of the EP ‘The Nemesis’  because it’s really the first song on this EP that I like. The songs starts a bit mid-tempo but after thirty seconds we’re of to great song. Indeed I have to say the vocals are sometimes out of tone but the song overall is great it really rocks and is never boring. The final song on the album ‘Darkness Of A Smile’  is another example of a great song written by Chosen. In the song it’s the vocals that give the song that extra power to rise above all the ones.

 

Overall I believe that The Fragment (Piece II) isn’t a bad demo it’s just that not all the songs are really great. Chosen has some nice ideas how to write songs and sometimes it does work out and sometimes it doesn’t.
