In
Our Weakness
Artist: Venia Label: Bombworks Records Length: 5 tracks/ 25:02 Hailing from Finland, Venia boasts strong female lead vocals and an exciting melodic/metal style. This young act’s newest release is a five song EP that, while lacking in some polish, does a good job of showcasing what makes Venia stand out. In Our Weakness is
a mixed bag of impressive aspects of the band and others that need further
development. The band is nearly fantastic at times; “The Path” applies
thrash and screaming to their core style to great effect, and “Illusion,”
while too simplistic lyrically, features a powerful melody and guitar work.
The violin in “No More” feels drowned out by the thundering guitars and
thus fails to capture and further express the emotion of the song; tied
with the overly simple lyrics, “No More” ends the record as an unfortunate
weak spot.
