The EP closes with ‘Loveless’, a track that makes Prolong The Agony sound at their most epic. It sees the band deliver one big “fuck you” to anyone who’s tried pull them down “In time I hope I see you fall from grace” they state bluntly. ‘All We Are’ is full of raw emotion and none more so than on ‘Backstabbers’, a completely powerful slice of hardcore with its thrashing guitars and guttural vocals. With Welling’s growling vocals and chaotic instrumentation providing a contrast to the lyrical theme of the track losing someone close to you ( “one day I’ll meet you above the clouds”) and making the most of the time you have. Whilst ‘Loved & Lost’ opens in an atmospheric, clean manner before the bands ideally heavy sound comes back with impact. ‘Counting The Days’ is dominated by blistering guitar work and a pummeling rhythm section that gives way to a temporary melodic chorus, before hitting back when Welling’s snarling vocals takeover. Throughout ‘All We Are’, PTA don’t hold back. It opens the EP to a strong start showcasing the bands lyricial passion and heavy musical chops impressively. ‘Dead Dreams’ fades in with stuttering guitars before punching through with pounding drums and soaring guitars complimenting Lawrence Welling as he addresses the issue of depression “it’s ok to feel dead inside” he confesses. Thankfully Prolong The Agony are here to change that as ‘All We Are’ aims at delivering a more positive, genuine message.įrom the start, the Portsmouth quintet tackle an array of deep topics head on. Often within the metalcore community there is a common mentality of “fuck everyone” and, let’s admit it, it’s not the most honest or positive approach to take.
