Nobody Comes, Nobody Goes."},"content":{"rendered":"

\"image\"Some words in music, “metalcore” perhaps heading the list, give me a nervous twitch on my way to the play button. I expect the same album I\u2019ve heard a thousand times before, an album that wasn\u2019t brilliant the first time and certainly hasn\u2019t proven a grower in subsequent, renamed listens. Fortunately for Promethee<\/strong>, \u2018Nothing Happens. Nobody Comes, Nobody Goes\u2019<\/em> is not this record. This is not startlingly original but it\u2019s also far from the same tired collection of tracks.<\/p>\n

The album breaks amidst the static that introduces \u2018The Great Deception\u2019<\/em>, launching into beastly riff and driving drums. Then the vocals hit, gravel and spit abound as expected but more than well enough executed. As the song ploughs on the drums continue to hold things up and as Promethee<\/strong> hit their first breakdown they display what it is that separates them from the pack. Sure, in parts this album is standard fare \u2013 a big riff here, double bass drumming there \u2013 but rather than having a lazy section, chugged guitars and blasts, Promethee<\/strong> take the opportunity to mix things up a little. It is just that, a little, a riff that holds over as \u2018The Great Deception\u2019<\/em> makes its way towards the end, a riff that hosts originality, and varies from simple influences, maintaining interest until the mightier riff of second track \u2018Banner of Lies\u2019<\/em> takes over.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

This second track is where issues make their way into the light, however. These two tracks sound different, there is an incredible little bit of guitar playing here that pricks the ears and refocuses some attention that I hadn\u2019t even realized I\u2019d lost. It\u2019s difficult to tell why it started to drop in the first place, these two tracks flow perfectly together \u2013 but whether because they\u2019re so well written or too musically familiar is anybody\u2019s call.<\/p>\n

\u2018Of Loss and Disgust\u2019<\/em> works well. There are some obvious builds and vocal breaks in all the right places, you can feel the change coming and it\u2019s hard to stop the involuntary air punch that comes as another heavy riff bursts back to life. There are times that this doesn\u2019t happen, however, that proves the greatest achievement; when prepared for another harsh change and greeted with a little bit of high octane riffage everything feels better. Surprise is king.<\/p>\n

\u2018Genesis\u2019<\/em> is a standout track in that it\u2019s the most unusual on the album without feeling out of place; there is still plenty of heavy rhythms and neat playing on display here with the vocals making it so unique \u2013 quiet, almost unnoticeable spoken word sits back and allows the music to take the fore. In this sense the track is almost an instrumental, helped along by the vocals beneath without having them distract from the music too much. The vocals are excellent on every track but elsewhere on the album they\u2019re an excellent portrayal of contemporary metal. On \u2018Genesis\u2019<\/em> they\u2019re smarter, their usage almost poetic in subtlety and they aid the progression incredibly.<\/p>\n

Tracks like the eighth and ninth, \u2018Thus Spoke\u2019<\/em> and \u2018Sickness Unto Death\u2019<\/em>, make me wonder how I ever had attention issues with this album and lend a hand in keeping Promethee<\/strong> well inside the plus column. Big songs, big riffs, and deep, passionate vocals rule the roost as they have from the beginning yet as the album reaches its climax, they seem to come together stronger than before. \u2018Thus Spoke\u2019<\/em> has the album\u2019s coolest riff, part generic metal, part just super cool guitar playing. This track also houses more of the slow, discordant work that has come and gone throughout \u2018Nothing Happens\u2026\u2019<\/em> and amongst driving drums and sweeping guitars these little frills offer a hand in what could well have turned out a vast sea of the overdone. Again, on this track Promethee<\/strong> utilize the breakdown wonderfully. Slow yet building, solid vocals erupting with the music before all drops below some truly great guitar work as the track rises to a close.<\/p>\n

\u2018Sickness Unto Death\u2019<\/em> takes top spot in terms of a passionate performance. The desperation in vocalist Joshua Orsi\u2019s voice is palpable and a pleasure to hear. The track\u2019s atmospheric melodies and brilliant drumming build perfectly into final track \u2018Oblivion.\u2019<\/em> A continuation of \u2018Sickness Unto Death\u2019<\/em>s emotional rawness with a hint of some well deserved showing off.<\/p>\n

This is a good record, regardless of whatever issues it might hold for me. Like all music it\u2019s not for everyone; unlike all music it has vast merits and will be loved by many. \u2018Nothing Happens. Nobody Comes, Nobody Goes\u2019<\/em> is passionate rock and roll and I can\u2019t ever ask for anything more.<\/p>\n
