About This Album
Pro-Pain was always a loud, intense, forceful, in your face sort of band, and as the '90s progressed, they became increasingly brutal -- they went from being hard-hitting in the early '90s to downright ferocious by the late '90s. And on 2005's Prophets of Doom, the New York City residents maintain their "take no prisoners" policy. Marking the band's 15th anniversary, this CD breaks no new ground for Pro-Pain; there are no substantial differences between Prophets of Doom and albums that Pro-Pain provided in the late '90s and early 2000s. But that isn't to say that their skull-crushing alternative metal/hardcore assault is becoming stale -- far from it. Pro-Pain sounds vital and inspired throughout this album, and one of the main things that inspires them is politics. A highly political effort, Prophets of Doom is as blistering lyrically as it is musically -- and scorching tracks like "Days of Shame," "Hate Marches On," "Death Toll Rises" and "Neocon" make it crystal clear that Pro-Pain's members are not the least bit happy with the policies of President George W. Bush and his administration. "Operation Blood for Oil" attacks U.
