Overview

Ignite, at the time of this EP, played melodic hardcore, heavily influenced by bands like Government Issue and No For An Answer – not least because of Zoli Teglas' vocal style and patterns. Short, fast-paced songs punctuated only by the stomping mid-tempo of "In Defense". Lyrically, most songs tackle subjects such as loyalty, society, and general strife. However, on the final track, "Taken Away", Teglas draws on his experiences in his Hungarian homeland.
