Prong
Bio
Prong first came to the fore in the late 80s with their excellent debut ‘Force Fed’ and soon became one of the top acts on the alternative scene in the 90s.
Their music appealed to both alternative music fans and metalheads and apart from a hiatus between 1996 and 2002, Prong were never out of the picture and only took an occasional breather. In the interim, Victor played on and off with Danzig and Ministry and when Prong reformed full-time in 2007, Al Jourgensen signed them to his 13th Planet Records. Three and a half decades after their inception, standout tracks like ‘Prove You Wrong’, ‘Whose Fist Is This Anyway’ and ‘Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck’ have lost none of their punch but there’s lots more to choose from. Their 2016 release ‘X - No Absolutes’ is a collection of fast & melodic, often thrashy tracks and ‘Zero Days’ (2017) ventures into melodic rock and groove metal territory. On ‘State of Emergency’ (2023) sole original member Tommy Victor proves that even after 35 years he can still write tracks that are as good as anything they’ve ever done.
