But these guests don\u2019t really overshadow the whole Grace &amp; Thieves sound as much as augment it, though. The first track has a long, slow build up before it thrashes away nicely. You then get two tracks of intense, fast, in-your-face thrash. The last track is a bit of a surprise with a piano intro that builds into a slow doom-ish track, but the thrash intensity and speed builds until the riff finally comes in near the end. Overall, a good ep that serves as a preview of what is to come.<\/p>\n[2013 Veritas Vinyl | Purchase: <a href=\"http:\/\/veritasvinyl.bandcamp.com\/album\/shepherd-of-the-wolves\" target=\"_blank\">veritasvinyl.bandcamp.com\/album\/shepherd-of-the-wolves<\/a>]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This slightly over-looked ep should have gotten more attention just due to the high caliber guest players on the album.
