Prong are still damn quality

From 2007:


They had more in common with Hardcore than straight Punk which is essentially what Crossover is. An amalgamation of Hardcore and Thrash and not neccessarily Punk.

I have plenty to add.


Despite the distinctly metal cover that the band hated, Immaculate Deception is a bona fide classic.


Posted this one just a few days ago. Even the album cover is the epitome of the scene although die hard fans hated the fact that the band incorporated Thrash influences from this album onwards.


Beast on my back is another phenomenal album with a huge melting pot of ideas. A piano opening track? It works and this band deserved a lot more kudos.


Mucky Pup were a band that were a little more humorous than many of their counterparts but they had some great riffs.


Despite a huge similarity to an Exodus track (know which one?) AF are absolute legends.

A special mention should got to Void who were one of the first bands to marry these genres even if it was primitive. Are they a Punk band or are they Metal?
