I
was very impressed with Prototype's first official album release in
Europe, which was released by Massacre Records in the early days of
2004.
Now
they are back with their second album, and they actually pick up where
they left us with "Trinity". They play a groovy mixture of
melodic and aggressive power metal
US
style, with pinches of thrash and progressive metal thrown into the mix
as well. I do however miss some musically progression from the band,
some new ideas or sounds. That is however just a small complaint because
this album does kick almost as much ass as their first album.
Vince's
vocal style might not be everybody's "cup of tea", but I think
he fits the music perfectly, and their music should appeal to a wide
metal audience, but fans of old school thrash metal should pay extra
attention to this album.
The
sound on this album is "straight in your face", Neil
Kernon has mixed the album and Travis Smith has created another weird
piece artwork, so the bricks are in place here. Do check this
interesting album out, if you get the chance...

tracks: "The Way it ends", "Sea of
Tranquillity" & "Cold is this God"
