Review

Years before Helmet started playing staccato alternative metal, Prong was writing caustic stop-start riffs that bisected snarling vocals and stark, simple drum beats. At the time, the music was viewed as fragmentary and awkward, but in retrospect, Prong's dissonant, percussive approach pre-dated the stop-start attack of bands like Korn and Limp Bizkit, only without the hip-hop influences. Rude Awakening, Prong's swan song, is their most tuneful album, replete with semi-melodic vocals and percolating bass grooves. But even though it's not as brutal as the band's earlier work, it still packs quite a punch. Terry Date's production work (Pantera, deftones) imbues the guitar tones with a savage crunch and songs like "Mansruin," "Controller," and "Slicing" cut right to the core. --Jon Wiederhorn
