TYRANNY OF THERAPY

Tyranny of Therapy is the debut LP from the polish prog metal act DIVISION BY ZERO. Music on this album is rather intense and agressive and may be labelled as progressive death metal. There are some influences of bands like Opeth, Pain Of Salvation or Riverside but there's also a touch of original style of Division By Zero.

Tyranny Of Therapy is a concept album with indeed a twisted story. It reflects mental state of a man in extremely helpless situation. He spends a night on self-contemplation. Lyrics written by band's vocalist Sławek Wierny have intellectual depth, there are many ambiguous symbols which makes interpretation very difficult. Album is divided into three parts, represented by intro and two interludes (Evening - Night - Morning).

Album contains 40 minutes of dark, intense progressive metal on a very high quality level. In my opinion there are two outstanding tracks: Self Control (what a riff! Just imagine what must happen on DBZ concerts when they play this track...) and True Peak but the other tracks are also very good. Sławek Wierny is a fantastic vocalist, he can easily sing clear and use death metal growlings, his voice timbre may resemble Mariusz Duda's vocals. Other musicians are also very good, particularly the keyboard player does his job in his own, great way. There are many memorable melodies, great riffs and it's highly recommended to the fans of progressive metal.

Great, intense album. 4.5 stars.
