1 – (3:20) Feral Love.* Moody & spare, eerie vocals, electronica backing.
2 – (3:34) We Hit a Wall.* Dark, slow tempo, guitar reverb, very nice.
3 – (4:58) House of Metal. Slow, mysterious & sexy vocals, droning sounds.

5 – (2:35) Destruction Makes the World Burn Brighter.* Mid-tempo metal,
slashing guitar, drowsy vocals.
