Reviews

I didn't know much about Prong until recently. As a huge fan of Helmet, I was searching for similar artists and I came up with Prong and their extensive catalogue. Being the most recent release, I decided to go with Scorpio Rising, and I am very pleased. Many reviewers seem to reject this one in favor of the classic Prong releases, such as Cleasing. This is largely due to the change in band members and an inevitably different instrumental tone (although even this seems slight). Overall, this is a solid release, with chugging guitar riffs complimenting frontman Tommy V's classic Prong vocal stylings (I've checked out some sound clips from thier earlier albums). Many times Prong's sound is described as industrial, although that is not showcased on Scorpio. Rather, this is much more an ode to straight up guitar riffage and vocals that display anger and frustration without relying on monotonous and constant screaming. No doubt I will be delving even further into the bands music, but I will always know that Scorpio Rising was the one that started it all for me. Check this one out, especially if you are new to the world of Prong! Thanks for reading and rock on!
