Mauta Tala by Sarpa
"The blackened death metal Baxter puts forth here is out of this world compared to many others on the scene today. With three tracks clocking in around 26 minutes, you may tap the repeat button repeatedly."
- Metal-Rules
"The album will challenge your conventions, and stimulate your mind and thought process."
- Metal Temple
"A dazzling feat of stylistic engineering sits alongside an iron clad compositional discipline. One of the very few releases to come out in the last five years or so that demands of us a new vocabulary in order to even furnish it with curation."
- Hate Meditations
"Sarpa‘s new EP will leave most listeners bewildered and bedazzled, addled yet addicted. In the shell of an even smaller nut, these death rhythms are a hell of a lot of surprising fun."
- No Clean Singing
"Blackened death metal of epic proportions."
- World of Metal
“Mauta Tala may only be three cuts but stretches out to twenty five minutes. By no means an afterthought or a stop gap of any kind, and is instead something that approaches the Avant-Garde without fear of violent retribution."
- Metal-Noise
"Aggressiveness, complexity and a soothing mystical calmness. With Mauta Tala, the band develops a surprising and soaring atmosphere."
- Acta Infernalis
