Hard 20

Funeral Age

"Fistful of Christ"
(Thousand Funerals Music)
by John Haseltine

German prog-metallers, Poverty's No Crime give us their fifth installment, The Chemical Chaos. The first to be released in the U.S., it's sure not to be the last. Clocking in at just over an hour with ten tracks of sheer power and melodic complexity. PNC's album has some deep lyrical content. The concept behind the songs range from the loss of control over freedom to science of life, that there is a master plan to all of this.A real thining man's brand of metal. There is some great musicianship going on here. A must for all prog-metal fans and those into Queensryche,old Marillion and Fates Warning. This is a great listen over and over.
