Promethium - Welcome to the Institution

Promethium - Welcome to the Institution Review



First up, let me just say that this album has been available for a little while now, so shame on me for not reviewing it earlier but here goes,
Welcome to the Institution is Promethium's debut album, originally released back in 2010 via Casket / Coproproductions. promethium are an Old School metal band, very tight and very soild musically, obviously playing the kind of music they love most. The album opens with a great brooding atmospheric intrumental track, Distant Illusion before crashing into Visions, a great solid piece of metal by anyones standards. there are a few standout tracks, Tribute To the Fallen, Cycle Of Vengence and closing track Murder Inc to name but three.
Welcome to the Institution is a solid and and impressive debut album from Promethium, lets just hope its follow up is as good!

Manchester four piece, Visitor, unleash The Need To Believe upon the poor unsuspectine world. Seven, yes only seven, tracks of blistering riffs, relentless drumming and 3 part vocals, yes three of the four guys handle vocal duties, switching between each other throughout each song. The songs are relentless, pounding you into submission, barely leaving you time to catch your breath. I love the vocals, constantly changing from old school metal, vocal harmonies and growling, great concept.
This album probably needed a softer track included, to add a little contrast, a little light to the shade so to speak, but on a whole its a good release, but be warned, it WILL LEAVE YOU EXHAUSTED!!
