Search - Prophet :: Cycle of Moon

Melodic Hard Rock

"1988's Cycle of the Moon is the second album by the melodic hard rock band Prophet. Cycle of the Moon was the first Prophet album to feature former Surgin' frontman Russell Arcara on vocals. I know some people find his voice annoying, but I think it suits this kind of music.



The album is a straightforward melodic hard rock release, with big guitar hooks, LOTS of keyboards and of course a couple of ballads. Prophet stands in that blurry line between AOR and hair metal with bands like Giant, Bad English, and Damn Yankees, albeit not quite as good as those bands. Still, if you're into the late 80's/early 90's melodic hard rock, chances are you'll enjoy Cycle of the Moon.

Excellent Melodic-Progressive Rock

"The level of musicianship in Prophet was very high... This CD has combinations of both melodic AOR style and progressive rock. The songs are very catchy, I love the 80's vibe of this disc. The singer suits this music very well.



If you like 80's style melodic rock, check this out."
