Jarrett is a more than a capable singer, and the production on the album is quite good for the most part. Problem is there's nothing much in the way of originality here. Standouts include 'Alive', 'Portraits' and 'Oh Sister'.

| 4.5 superb | c0nf1n3d | May 16th 15 |
I'm changing my rating on this one, big time. Perhaps an initial review is what works best for an album
(originally I scored it a 3.5). My comments were what in a normal playthrough; a listener might gain from the
journey. It's a 'so-so metalcore album'. Here's the thing, "Permanence" really isn't. The majority of the album
actually contains SINGING, versus the generic metalcore riffs/screaming. Sure, there are tracks like "Some
Graves", "Dead Giveaway", "Sheltered", "Oh, Sister", and "Tempest" that give off that vibe - but honestly
everyone...that's it. The rest of the album is more experimental. There are songs such as "If I Go", which is a
ballad/chordal experimentation that pays off tremendously. There's "Alive", the opening track, which gets the
listener acquainted to what they're getting into, yet it still experiments with odd sounds that benefit the
album's journey. "Permanence" is a FANTASTIC initial effort from Storm the Sky that unfortunately won't ever
see a continuation. As of now, the 'harsh' vocalist left the band, and the group is taking a new direction. Here's
to hoping something good comes out of it - for now, we're left with this.
