Album Review: From Oslo - From Oslo

Blasting away with riffs that boast plenty of brutality, while never coming at the expense of melody, From Oslo find that balance throughout the five tracks that make up this self-titled EP.

But standout song Nobody's Original makes a pretty strong case for these guys going harder and bigger. It's an unhinged, more is more approach that makes From Oslo that little bit more dangerous and exciting — it sounds like their energy could fly off the rails at any moment. Hard rock, blistering aggression and actual nuance — it's a rare and tricky combo, and one where From Oslo seem to have cracked the code.
