Prong
Zero Days
Review by Kat Heitzman
This three man band is still carrying the metal pitchfork as their sound has officially merged the old with the new. This album has the distinct sound of Prong with all the bells and whistles of newer sounding metal. This band began back in 1986 where metal was still in its infancy and Zero Days shows how they have progressed and honed their talent. No song is like any other Prong song, and did they seriously get faster? You get little hints of their history but without it being the same exact thing, which I think is what metal heads are really looking for. They are producing some seriously sick music for the times.
You can tell Prong put a lot of thought and time into developing the lyrics on this record. Tommy Victor is a poet and wordsmith with the talent to put it all into music. Musically it is what you would expect from these veterans. If you are a Prong fan (and even if you don’t know who they are) it's time to add this new CD to your rotation.
