Prong finishing up new album
PRONG are putting the final touches on their Long Branch Records debut with producer Steve Evetts. Says guitarist, vocalist and PRONG founder Tommy Victor of the making of the album: “It was hardest I’ve ever worked in the studio on any record I’ve ever been involved with.” PRONG (whose lineup includes bassist Tony Campos and drummer Alexei Rodriguez) has taken a major step forward in their constantly evolving brand of sonic schematics.
Titled Carved Into Stone, the album is quintessentially PRONG. It stretches into the band’s earliest and dirtiest foundations on which the band was founded on New York’s Lower East Side to the present as a staple of today’s post-metal and rock scenes. “I always believed there were many dimensions to PRONG,” says Tommy. “Every record we’ve been associated with different scenes – hardcore, metal, industrial – even dance! I think this record brings all of that together and sounds very modern at the same time.”
I am very excited to hear what Tommy has been doing in the studio. He is the Riff master as anyone who knows Prong knows! I hope it has some groove as it should. The aggressive power groove is what Prong does best so I hope it tears my ears off, I am waiting!!!
