Prime Creation - Prime Creation (EN)

This time the album of a band from Sweden found the way into my player. This is the debut of Prime Creation, which is named after the band itself and which is coming in the shops in April.

Do you know that? You're listening to a new record, and although it's not bad, nothing remains in your head? So you can imagine this with the disc of the Swedes. The songs are well done, but it just does not hit the stool.

After an intro, the first neck breaking-riff comes around the corner and takes one with full force. "Years Of Crossness" offers everything the metalhead-heart wants to hear. Apart from the already mentioned riff, there are loads of doublebass passages and it is there is almost no tuning at the speed screw there. The bass wags beautifully in the beat and gives the songs the necessary spice. It is worth mentioning that the singer is able to sing out his soul with his skill and refines the sound with his voice.

On the second song, "War is Coming", it becomes more groovy and the tempo is taken away. A beautiful stomping riff introduces the first stanza and that the singer can also sing a bit more emotionally gets proven in this piece. The instrumental fraction is very well played together and it does not matter at what pace they are going, it's just fun to listen to them. The singer has a pleasant voice and does not seem to be overwhelmed or uncertain at any time.

This output has a total of eight songs and with a duration of just over thirty minutes it has turned out very short. The tracks sound similar and only the tempo is changed somehow, otherwise it is just good compositions, which unfortunately hardly remain. The one or other hit would certainly have done the record well.

Conclusion:
Good compositions, great instrumentalists and a singer who gives the pieces the necessary spice. Prime Creation have really (almost) done everything on their debut. What is a pity, is the fact that a real hit is not on the album and so it remains a solid start, but nothing more.

Rating: 7,5/10

Recommendation: Years Of Crossness, War is Coming
