Following the announcement of their upcoming self-titled debut for Napalm Records, arriving on November 6, New York alternative metal veterans Prong have unveiled the first single from the album, “The Banner”. Serving as the explosive opening track, the song charges forward with razor-sharp, precision-driven riffs while frontman Tommy Victor delivers his trademark ferocious vocal attack. Aggressive, uncompromising, and unmistakably Prong, “The Banner” offers a powerful preview of the relentless intensity that defines the band’s forthcoming album.
Tommy Victor states: “We are unbelievably excited to share the first single, ‘The Banner’, from our upcoming self-titled record. Andy Sneap’s mix and master is absolutely blistering and ferocious. This is just the beginning and we hope you enjoy it”.
Throughout nearly four decades of relentless activity, Prong has established itself as one of heavy music’s most enduring and influential acts. The band has toured extensively across the globe, earning regular appearances at renowned festivals such as Wacken Open Air, Alcatraz, and Brutal Assault, while consistently delivering acclaimed albums that have resonated across radio, television, and streaming platforms.
Celebrating that enduring legacy, Prong features 11 hard-hitting tracks that blend the band’s signature mix of industrial metal, thrash, alternative rock, and unmistakable New York hardcore into a powerful and uncompromising release.
Victor said about the upcoming LP: “This could be the best PRONG album to date. It’s definitely the best-sounding PRONG album ever, with the incredible Andy Sneap mixing and mastering it! This record represents a new lease on life for PRONG with a new label, a fresh attitude with faster and heavier songs, bigger hooks and top-notch sound quality. That’s why it’s self-titled; it’s a redefining episode for PRONG!”.
