Interview by Paul Salfen
NYC heavy metal icons PRONG are touring North America, co-headlining with Canadian heavy metal connoisseurs VOÏVOD,
Tickets can be purchased via local venues or by visiting www.prongmusic.com.
This tour marks a reunion of sorts for the two bands, who have long admired each other’s work and have been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to hit the road together once again. Fans can expect a blend of new hits and classic favorites, delivered with the raw energy and passion that both bands are renowned for.
The decision to embark on this tour was an easy one for both bands, united by their fresh and acclaimed new records. PRONG’s 13th album, ‘State of Emergency’, was released on October 6, 2023 via Steamhammer/SPV to high acclaim, debuting at #5 on the US Current Hard Music Albums chart, #9 on the Top New Artist Albums chart and landing at #17 on the Metal Contraband year end spins chart.
PRONG‘s latest album, ‘State of Emergency’, is a furious tableau of East Coast aggression, enveloped in that classic PRONG sound that never goes out of style. Produced by the skillful hands of legendary producer Steve Evetts (Sepultura, The Dillinger Escape Plan), ‘State of Emergency’ surprises on the post-punk track “Disconnected” and then grooves on the title track. Originally released as a standalone single in early 2023, “Breaking Point” takes no prisoners with honest lyrics and cutting attitude, while hard hitting “The Descent” is a lightning quick, classic ripper.
