Nearly two years after the release of Prong’s latest album, State Of Emergency, the New York City native metal icons and premier rock and metal label Napalm Records have officially joined forces, inking a worldwide record deal.
Formed in 1986 by founder/frontman Tommy Victor and cemented into American metal legend, Prong have never released their grip on the scene. From the 80s club basements of NYC, to the MTV Headbanger’s Ball era with 90s classics Beg to Differ, Prove You Wrong, Cleansing and Rude Awakening, to their official return in the late aughts and today, Prong have stood their ground as household names in the metal universe, continuing to put out grippingly gritty, provocative and vital records for the next generation of heavy music fans. Napalm Records is proud to welcome Prong to their multifaceted roster.
Tommy Victor on signing to Napalm Records: “Oh man, I am honored, thrilled and excited that Prong is now with Napalm Records. It’s simply a fantastic label to be on. I’m so happy about it!”
Prong’s signing arrives just on the heels of the band’s upcoming European headline tour celebrating 31 years of their aforementioned 1994 album Cleansing, kicking off on July 30 in Hamburg, Germany. Featuring support from Escuela Grind and Vlad In Tears, the upcoming tour will visit several European countries, coming to an end at Angeliter Open Air in Taarstedt, Germany on August 16. The tour will also see Prong performing at Brutal Assault Festival, Alcatraz Metal Festival, and many others.
