Weightless World is a Finnish band that delivers progressive thrash-tinged metal on their debut album, The End of the Beginning. The riffs are tight, and the songwriting doesn't try to go overboard technically, preserving much of the melody. The songs have a bleak atmosphere enhanced by the vocals, which are on the screamy side and give The End of the Beginning more than a little "modern" juice. Most of the album is solid but unremarkable; however the title track, which at over ten minutes closes the album, is memorable for both its effectiveness at generating emotion and for being too long. I don't really mind the music on this album but found the vocals off-putting. If you like modern and/or progressive thrashy metal, you may find something here to enjoy.
