8/10 (1 vote)

An institution in modern US Metal, PRONG has been around for 30 years with a short period of hiatus at the end of the 90’s. X-No Absolutes is the eleventh album with original songs, but after the entertaining and surprisingly melodic Ruining Lives the new album does not excite.

Too often does the band fall back on stereotypes, and the riffing is occasionally no more than generic. Tommy Victor’s voice is characteristic, but does not exhibit more than the usual aggression, and although PRONG is far from delivering a bad album, it is even further away from the truly classic albums of the nineties and a step down from its predecessor.

Frank got hooked on Metal at the age of 14, when a friend introduced him to AC/DC back in 1981. Since then, he has enjoyed a wide variety of musical styles, including Prog and singer-songwriter material, but mainly Metal of almost all kinds—with one exception: he neither understands nor has any clue about Black Metal. Dragons are fine, all kinds of monsters are fine, cats too, of course… just no pandas. Sorry.
