Review by AtomicCrimsonRush from progarchives.com

5 stars Black Bonzo have produced one of the most exciting prog concept albums of recent years

This is an astounding prog album from a relatively obscure Swedish band that may be the Swedish answer to Yes. Certainly the first thing one will notice when hearing this album is the striking similarity of their style to the classic 70s eclectic prog of such artists as Uriah Heep, Kansas, Emerson Lake & Palmer (ELP), Gentle Giant, Caravan, Yes, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Camel and Rush, to name a few. They are heavily influenced but are not mere imitations, rather adding their own inimitable style to the progressive genre. Every track is masterfully executed with technical precision and artistic flare all wrapped up in a concept album. The album artwork is sublime presented in a 3-gatefold widevision apocalyptic scenario. The imagery is sumptuous and compliments the conceptual material admirably.

Provided that you don't expect anything original, Sound of the Apocalypse is a very strong effort. It immediately brings to mind the great bands of the 70's, such as Deep Purple, ELP, Yes, and Uriah Heep to name a few, and proves that the members of Black Bonzo are big fans of the genre.

Black Bonzo's "Sound Of The Apocalypse" is an excellent blend of progressive 70's rock-if you liked that era of prog rock you'll like this album very much especially if you're fans of Yes, Genesis, Jethro Tull, Uriah Heep and Deep Purple. Order it today. You won't regret it.
