From the start to the end, Prolong the Agony's release grabs you by the throat, screaming for your acknowledgement and time. It's a stunning EP, one that wouldn't look out of place on the discography of either Architects or Bury Tomorrow. It's raw, relentless, and ruthless, just like them.

Crisp, beautiful production, incredibly tight technique and anthems like Dead Dreams and Loved And Lost cement All We Are as one of the best releases I've heard so far this year. Whilst it could be argued that a few tracks on the E.P. Veer toward the more generic side of metalcore, the band produce such heartfelt anthems and crushingly devastating riffs that they deserve to be considered among the genre's strongest assets. In a world where metalcore is a dirty word, it fills me with hope. It's an encompassing package of everything metalcore promised to be so many years ago, and I'm furiously anticipating the band's first full length release. If there's anything you should take from All We Are, it's promise. Support Prolong The Agony. Nurture their fury.

Kicking off with the immense Dead Dreams, this EP is something many metalcore fans need to hear. All We Are may have a tender core, but it's heavy as God's balls - and a fucking sick release.

All We Are is an instantly thunderous, hard hitting, thought provoking EP - the sort that you don't expect but when it happens you can't think of anything else you'd rather have.
A look at the song titles tells you what to expect from the album, with names such as Backstabbers, Loved and Lost and Dead Dreams. It reveals an emotional honesty that you wouldn't usually associate with men in general, never mind a hardcore band. There's a message in this EP, and more than a little bit of soul searching.
'It's okay to feel dead inside,' Larry Welling screams on Dead Dreams - but when you listen to All We Are you feel anything but dead inside.

If you're a fan of either metalcore or hardcore then sit up and take notice. If you're not, these guys could be the ideal place to start your journey into either or both of those paths. Whilst they're not an out and out hardcore band, they have all of the elements needed to fit into that scene. Pounding breakdowns and snarling vocals combined with powerful lyrics. As I say though, they aren't really a hardcore band, these guys also bring elements of the still incredibly popular metalcore scene into the mix. Fans of The Amity Affliction may notice some similarities between these guys and some of the tracks on Let The Ocean Take Me.
