THE ENEMY INSIDE

Progressive metal is the name of the game here, and of a variety that I gather many would describe as typical. Not quite in the manner of Dream Theater or Symphony X but related to both, with some passages closer to Norwegian outfit Magic Pie in sound: Organ dominated pieces where the guitars and metal aspects are takingmore of a back seat.

Prymary construct quite a few intriguing atmospheres throughout, and I do enjoy the quirky riffs and rhytms often provided as well. That the music is rather dark and bleak at times is an additional bonus. However, frantic, almost chaotic changes is a rather constant factor at play in these compositions too, and for me this leaves an impression of a general lack of coherence. Too many songs and ideas compressed into the individual composition if you like.

Prymary is a talented act, but doesn't quite manage to fulfill their potential on this album in my opinion. Those who like dark and quirky progressive metal might want to give this one a shot though. Especially if they like bands sticking to the classic sound of the genre.
