Prost - Believe Again (2025) [Hi-Res]

Prost is an international project led by Antoine Prost, a passionate guitarist for over 40 years. His influences are diverse, ranging from hard rock to classical music by Bach and Vivaldi. Over time, he has listened to bands like MSG, UFO, Night Ranger or Whitesnake, and more recently Revolution Saints, Degreed and Brother Firetribe, while also drawing inspiration from the guitar virtuosos on Shrapnel Records, such as Yngwie Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert and George Bellas.
It wasn’t until 2023 that the Prost melodic rock band was born. The decisive encounter with Manos Fatsis, known for his collaborations with City Of Lights and Odyssey Desperado marked a major turning point. An instant chemistry was formed between the two artists: Antoine composed the music while Manos wrote the lyrics and vocal melodies. Alongside with them, Greg Aubert - a longtime friend of Antoine - joined the band on bass, and Mats Eriksson - drummer of Degreed - brought a solid and inspired rhythm section.
The result? A powerful and intense melodic rock album, blending sharp riffs, virtuosic solos, captivating harmonies and immersive synth layers. With mixing and mastering handled by Mats Eriksson, the album radiates a modern and impactful energy.
Tracks like "Lone Survivor", "Believe Again", "Summer Days" and "Road Of Tomorrow" capture the essence of the 80s with their synthetic soundscapes. Others, such as "Cold & Fire" and "Hearts & Dreams" delve into a more epic atmosphere. More introspective songs like "Through The Nights" and "Flame Of Hope" reveal a poignant sensitivity, while "Standing On The Edge", "Comfort Zone" and "Never Let You Go" embody a dynamic and engaging US hard rock style.
"Believe Again" is an album crafted for hard rock enthusiasts, seamlessly blending nostalgia with modernity.
