Forming during the venue’s late 80s renaissance period alongside hardcore legends like Gorilla Biscuits, Madball, Sick Of It All, and Biohazard, PRONG set themselves apart with melodic sensibility on formative records like Beg To Differ (1990) and Cleansing (1994), becoming mainstays on the iconic MTV’s “Headbangers Ball”. With their boundary-pushing fusion of classic New York Hardcore, infectious grooves, and industrial textures PRONG laid the foundation for numerous styles of post-hardcore like groove metal, industrial metal, and crossover thrash. Since then, the band has done countless world tours becoming regulars at seminal festivals like Wacken and Brutal Assault. Now, they return with their Napalm Records, self-titled debut out November 6, 2026. As the band’s mission statement, Prong incorporates the well of styles their legacy is built on. Blistering thrash sections, open into lush choruses on opening anthem “The Banner”, before somehow pushing the intensity even further on “New Commission”. “The Uprising” reintroduces the band’s industrial edge, weaponizing textured synths over a pulsating two-step, before “Uncertain Truth” flexes its melodic chops, offering a transcendently sweet hook. Immediately the band dropkicks listeners in the chest with the pummeling “Fear The Sun” inciting classic New York Hardcore pit violence. Iconic vocalist and guitarist Tommy Victor’s chops come out in full swing on “Proportionate Response”, a smoldering incitement of retaliatory justice, before the blistering kicks of “Simulated Drowning” propel us forward. Album closer “Our Continuance\" brings things to a cataclysmic close with its menacingly methodical pulse and pummelingly discordant breakdowns, tied together with a lush chorus amplified with swelling synth textures. With Andy Sneap at Backstage Studios for mixing and mastering, the album sounds crisp and punchy, Victor’s biting lyrics confrontational and infiltrating, driving listeners to contemplate complex matters like the validity of truth, self-inhibitors, and altruism. Dynamically bold, ideologically driven, and melodically infectious, Prong honors their legacy, reminding us why the band has had such a successful longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklist :\u003cbr\u003e1The Banner\u003cbr\u003e2 New Commission\u003cbr\u003e3 The Uprising\u003cbr\u003e4 Uncertain Truth\u003cbr\u003e5 Fear The Sun\u003cbr\u003e6 Commonsense Resolution\u003cbr\u003e7 Doomed World\u003cbr\u003e8 Proportionate Response\u003cbr\u003e9 Transgression\u003cbr\u003e10 Simulated Drowning\u003cbr\u003e11 Our Continuance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"hidden\"\u003eSome items are available for pre-order.
