"Moments in the Infinite" is an EP release by Danish death/doom metal act Caustic. The EP was released through Shiver Records in 1994 and it was the band´s only label release before they disbanded in 1997. Caustic was formed around 90/91 and released the "An Integral Sense (1991)" and the "Timid Reality (1992" demos before being signed to Shiver Records for the release of "Moments in the Infinite".

The EP features 3 tracks and a full playing time of 19:01 minutes. The title track and "Victims of Ignorance" are both new tracks while "Lacrymose Progeny" is taken directly off the "Timid Reality (1992" demo and therefore also features a different sound production. Stylistically the two new tracks pretty much continues the melodic and relatively progressive death/doom metal style of "Timid Reality (1992", although the music is predominantly a little faster paced than the music on the demo and there are some more rock oriented guitar solos featured too.

The sound production on the two new tracks is slightly more raw than the case is with "Lacrymose Progeny", but it´s still a quality sound production that doesn´t necessarily sound like it´s for demo material. Caustic are as usual a very well playing band playing both heavy riffs, acoustic sections, melodic leads/harmonies, fusion influenced drumming, and delivering aggressive growling vocals.

Upon conclusion "Moments in the Infinite" is another quality release by Caustic, although I must admit to being slightly disappointed about the direction of the two new tracks as I think the material on the "Timid Reality (1992" demo is generally a bit more interesting. Still this is a quality release deserving a 3.5 star (70%) rating.
