Real hardcore

"Much like hardcore legends Agnostic Front, Pro-Pain hasn't gotten any softer with age. "Prophets of Doom" finds the hardcore outfit as ticked off as one would expect, and the album is all the better for it. "Unamerican" and "Hate Marches On" are anthemic hardcore dirges that find the band at their best, along with some of the best lead guitar work you'll ever hear from Pro-Pain. Other standout tracks, including "One World Ain't Enough", "Operation Oil for Blood" (gee, I wonder who that song is a slap in the face to...), "Death Toll Rises", and "Prisoner" are some of the best material to come from the hardcore legends, and while it's a bit short in length, "Prophets of Doom" is still quite possibly the best hardcore release of the year. It's not for everybody, but for true fans of hardcore and Pro-Pain, this will make you stand up and cheer before you bang your head."

Pro-Pain Delivers Again

"Another stellar release from the hardcore-metal gods Pro-Pain. I am not going to go into any great detail with this review. You either know of and like Pro-Pain or you don't. Prophets of Doom is a typical Pro-Pain releaese, although I do hear some interesting twists (to my ear at least) from time to time throughout this CD. The production is good, the songs are solid and full of hooks, the music is aggressive and I really enjoyed the lead guitar work of T. Klimchuck on this release. His leads aren't extravagent or mind-boggling but they are tasteful and well placed.



I really feel like these guys are getting better and stronger as they age. This is a very solid release and you won't be dissappointed.
