SOUND OF THE APOCALYPSE

After listening and reviewing the most recent Beardfish album, I wanted to go back and review an album that deserves MUCH more credit than it has received. Sound of the Apocalypse is a wonderful release with that vintage 70's style with great melody and excellent vocals. After about 20 spins, this album keeps growing on me which is the sign of a well constructed album. Neo prog favorites like Gentle Giant, Echolyn and Genesis are definitely influences, BUT Black Bonzo has successfully branded their own sound apart from any other band. Their music has a very lighthearted feel and you are constantly reminded of great classic rock bands from years past. I look forward to more releases from them. Even though they are not as well known as some other neo prog acts, I encourage any fan of prog music...no, any fan of good music to get this album. A wonderful job and well deserving of 4 stars! May prog be with you....
