The Uncreation is the debut release from solo black metal project Written in Torment. The sole musician, who calls himself the Leviathan, does a great job with his first EP and manages to do some style crossover successfully.

The Leviathan did a good job with the numerous changes within the songs, none of them feel awkward or out of place and do a good job of moving the album forward. The standout song on this release is “Remember with Fear” it starts out with some great thrashy riffing and keeps you interested throughout the song.

There is little soloing on the album and what is there is somewhat simplistic, consisting mainly of scale runs up and down the neck. But I can't dock them to much because they fit the music nicely.

John Maulding did a good job with the production of the eighteen minute EP, providing nice balance and clarity without sounding over processed.
