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 is a reviewer here at Metal Express Radio, based out of Bavaria, Germany. He works in the games industry for over 30 years. Frank got hooked on Metal at the age of 14 when a friend introduced him to AC/DC and that was in 1981. Since then he listens to a variety of musical styles, including Prog and Songwriter-stuff, but mainly Metal of almost all types with one exception: He does not understand and has no clue about Black Metal. So dragons are fine, all kinds of monsters are, cats, too, of course, just no Pandas. Sorry.
