Review: The Noctambulant's upcoming EP "Hellrazor"

Melodic Black Metal band The Noctambulant from USA, are releasing a new EP on the 5th of March. It is a self-released album, and it is called Hellrazor.
The EP has 4 tracks and an intro. 
The intro is really fantastic, bringing a very emotional atmosphere. Not sure emotional is the right word, but it's the closest to what it makes me feel.
Don't expect the usual melodic Black Metal with keyboard orchestrations, because there won't be any. It is definitely a lot more heavy than that kind of stuff, but the guitar solos bring all the sentimental side to it. 
Clearly, there are Death Metal influences, in the instrumental part of it, but also in the voices, at times. Not always. The predominant style of singing is the Black Metal one. It is good. So good.
It is the kind of music that is playing, and suddenly comes something you are not expecting, but that brings a very good feel and power to the song. And when you think it is nice and really pleasant, comes another bit even better. Since it is only 5 tracks, it is difficult to listen to just once and that's it.
Still trying to find a comparison band or musician for the guitar solos, but it is difficult. Some of the best stuff I have heard in the last times.
