PRONG - Beg To Differ LP (Translucent Yellow Vinyl)

Edition of 1500 machine numbered copies; includes insert with lyrics and credits.

Prong are one of the pioneers of the 90’s modern post-thrash metal movement, and arguably its finest representatives. The album reviewed here was one of the first signs that a major metamorphosis was looming on the horizon, and that the classic metal practitioners had to start lending an ear to what was going on if they didn’t want to be sidelined and demoted to the second division. Still, Exhorder’s “Slaughter in The Vatican”, Sacred Reich's "The American Way", and Pantera’s “Cowboys from Hell”, all released in 1990, were initially viewed more as “angry” oddities rather than as future path carvers, but the more quiet, more sophisticated side of this new trend as reflected in “Beg to Differ” kind of attracted more attention at this early transformational stage.
