Insert Remedy's first EP, after releasing two demos (2003 and 2004), is titled 'Disintegration Of The Human Mind'. This album quickly separates itself from other albums/demos/EPs by being an EP with a theme, meaning its music is all written around one subject. The disintegration of the human mind in this case. The EP explains the path everyone must take.
Insert Remedy began in 2003, starting off  as a cover band, and within a few months their first demo was recorded. After another demo in 2004 they ended up were they are now, with their first EP.

'Disintegration Of The Human Mind' transformed into music. I had no idea what to expect from this but it didn't take too long for me to figure this out. Insert Remedy's EP starts off with a song called “Metaphor”. From the first second the powerful guitar noises fill the room, and the vocals start not long thereafter. The clean vocals in the song somehow remind me of a nu-metal band I listened to not that  long ago. But it doesn't take too long to get rid of that thought. Powerful screams, mixed with clean vocals,  is what the chorus is all about. Perfect balance between these two are one of the main great factors in this song. For what I could make of the lyrics,  they deal with the “metaphor of love” and the lies people live in. The second song is called “Weak Mind”, which begins with a powerful drum roll, followed by screaming vocals, which follow throughout the whole song. I could not make anything solid out of the lyrics, but they surely sound damn good. There's not much bad to say about this track,  the vocals are full of variety, though I would have liked seeing that in the music itself also. It is quite varied, but the speed and atmosphere remain the same. Third up is “Disintegration”, which follows in the footsteps of the first song. The atmospheric guitars are present again and the vocals are again a nice mix between clean and screaming. After about four minutes, there is a nice slow instrumental piece, which puts some variety in the song, and the vocal part following that is also different from what has been heard before. Clean vocals in a mellow tempo. It seems that the meaning of life has some part in the lyrics this time, of course not allowed to be missing on an EP about the disintegration of the human mind. The last song “Where All Roads Lead To” starts off  very atmospheric and this is actually the first time I feel a track is different from the others. More mellow tones, but the same power which was so indistinguishable in the previous songs.

All in all this themed EP is very good, with a lot of variety in the vocals. I did miss some diversion in the other compositions though. The EP as a whole is quite good, and worth checking out.
