UMUR
"Vision" is an EP release by US, California based thrash/funk metal act Mordred. The EP was released through Noise Records in August 1992. The EP (and a few other minor releases) bridges the gap between the band´s second and third full-length studio albums "In This Life (1991)" and "The Next Room (1994)".

Stylistically the material on "Vision" is a natural continuation of the funk/alternative metal style of "In This Life (1991)". Funky guitar riffs, slap bass and energetic funky drumming, turntable scratching, occassionally heavy riffs (not many thrashy parts on this EP), and lead vocalist Scott Holderby singing/semi-rapping his way through the songs. Contemporary artists like Infectious Grooves/Suicidal Tendencies and Faith No More are valid references, but Mordred had a sound of their own and aren´t a clone act by any means.

"Vision" features a powerful, clear, and detailed sound production, which suits the material well. The 6 tracks on the 24:08 minutes long EP are well composed too, and the musical performances are also on a high level, so upon conclusion it´s a high quality EP filled to the brim with funky alternative rock/metal. A 3 - 3.5 star (65%) rating is warranted.
