    Henning Pauly is a very busy body. In the past two years he has released five albums and for all those album he is the driving musical force. First of all he is part of the band Chain, they have released two albums that have both been reviewed on DPRP (Reconstruct and Chain.exe). Along with this he works on a project which goes under the name of Frameshift. The first Frameshift album Unweaving the Rainbow is best known because James Labrie of Dream Theater does the vocals, however for this second Frameshift album Henning Pauly has found another vocalist: Sebastian Bach best known as the lead singer of Skid Row.

    An Absence Of Empathy is different to Unweaving The Rainbow, there is a certain bite in the music that is greatly amplified by Sebastian Bach's vocals, but still it is a very "Henning Pauly album". The guitar lines are complex and full, taking unexpected turns and because of that it is not a very easy album (again). The subject matter of this prog metal concept album is not really an uplifting one, examining different types of violence. Because of all the violence on the TV the main character becomes intrigued by the question why some of us come to violence while others do not. In dreams the main character commits and endures acts of violence, which allows him to eventually come to the conclusion that we all have the potential of violence. The protagonist decides that the only way to live with/control violence it to raise your children well.

    Human Grain's intro has been heard before, with a radio switching channels, Hotel California is distinguishable and the track itself also does not contain much in the way of surprises - rock without too many progressive elements. Just One More continues in similar fashion, but with slightly more interesting touches put in. Miseducation is the first really interesting track with a superb guitar solo and luckily this is continued in I Killed You - a track in which the vocals and harmonies alternate from the left to the right side of the audio mix. This Is Gonna Hurt has a nice cooperation of guitars and vocals. Push The Button is another typical Henning song, wobbly guitars and piano's - the vocals then glue it all together.

    Nice note: Saga's Michael Sadler forms part of the "gangland vocals" for Miseducation and Push The Button, as is ProgRecords own president Shawn Gordon.

    In An Empty Room is a mellow track that has some elements that could well be taken from a musical (!) Outcast is also not an up tempo song, but incorporates a nice build up. Blade is an epic track with a large orchestration (out of a synthesizer), the guitar solos and vocals make this the best track of the album. How Long Can I Resist starts of with a real bite but the refrain is almost cheery, whereas When I Look Into My Eyes is very electronic with drum computers and all - it is the odd one out of this album - it kind of reminds me of Abydos. And finally What Kind Of Animal rounds off the album - a very touching, quiet track in which the rough voice of Sebastian Bach works really well.

    But for me the voice of Sebastian Bach does not really work for this music in general. It is a voice very fitting for straight forward rock and that is something Frameshift is certainly not. It takes a real effort to listen past his voice and find there is actually pretty thought-out music behind it. A rather strange observation if you consider that Sebastian Bach started doing musicals after Skid Row. It is not that Sebastian has a bad voice or that I don't like it, it is just that the two don't seem to go together, the voice hides the music instead of strengthening it.

    Maybe because of this voice this is not the best Henning Pauly album I've heard. Then again Sebastian Bach does all the tracks and it could be that his screaming voice lays bare that the music is also not too eventful. The best tracks are the four last ones and coincidentally these are also the tracks on which Sebastian Bach restrains his voice. Miseducation is also a very good track but still these five tracks are not tilting my opinion on the complete album.

    This is not my first review of a Henning Pauly album so I can safely say that the man stands for quality in every aspect of his music. It is no different on this album and the album is indeed very good but unfortunately this album does not really do it for me. I am sure that anyone who liked the previous Frameshift album will like this one and the same goes for fans of the last Chain album - personally I think that one was just slightly better.

    Conclusion: 7.5 out of 10
