Speedclaw is one of those bands that really doesn't bring anything new to the table but, damn, it's hard to stop listening to this stuff. Beast in the Mist is their second EP and it's old school as hell. The sound and songwriting style go way back to early to mid-80s heavy/speed metal. Catchy, fast, raw, with cool little solos. The vocals vary in quality throughout the EP, but overall the vocalist fits the material very well. It's not great, it's not bad, it's kind of average, but it's still pretty damn addictive.
