<\/p>\n

The new\u00a0PRONG-Album\u00a0\u201cZero Days\u201d\u00a0is another monster of an album, another step towards refining the perfect PRONG-Sound and another album that lacks any filler or lacklustre moment. Musically, it hits home from the first bars of the mighty opener\u00a0\u201cHowever It May End\u201d\u00a0to the last bars of the albums closing track\u00a0\u201cWasting Of The Dawn\u201d. Every track is it\u2019s own emotional roller-coaster ride, chock-full of massive riffage, ironclad grooves and topped off by Victor\u2019s ever-improving vocal delivery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cZero Days”\u00a0was once again produced by\u00a0Tommy Victor,\u00a0with trusted collaborator\u00a0Chris Collier\u00a0as co-producer and engineer.<\/p>\n

Tommy Victor\u00a0talks about\u00a0\u201cZero Days\u201d:<\/p>\n

\u201cI must say a lot of effort was put into this new \u201cZero Days\u201d recording. From the minute I would get off tour, I would consolidate ideas from the road and form new ones. Again the focus was on creating good songs. We wanted this record to be modern as well as holding justice to all the previous releases. Again and maybe even more than normally I went crazy meticulous with the lyrics. I had built up a lot to say and I wanted to articulate them in the most intelligent way possible.I firmly believe the mission was accomplished all around. We are really pleased with the performances on this record, as well. It’s a solid outing. We have the anthems, the bangers, the thrashers, the grooves, everything that makes up a PRONG record. It’s definitely a record to listen to start to finish!!\u201d<\/p>\n

“Zero Days”\u00a0will be released on\u00a0July 28th, 2017\u00a0through\u00a0Steamhammer\/SPV\u00a0as CD digipak, 2 LP gatefold, download and stream.<\/p>\n

Information:<\/p>\n

After a self-prescribed hiatus, 2012 saw PRONG blow the hinges off the door with the\u00a0release of\u00a0\u0093Carved Into Stone\u0094. Seemingly out of nowhere, Tommy Victor and company managed to combine all the previous elements of the band’s formula: thrash, hardcore, industrial metal, etc. with a new urgency and angst that struck a deep nerve with the band\u0092s loyal fan-base and beyond.<\/p>\n

The band marched onwards with 2014\u0092s highly acclaimed\u00a0\u0093Ruining Lives\u0094\u00a0which spawned a\u00a0number of instant classics. \u0093Turnover\u0094, “The Barriers” and the title track became staples in their live set when embarking on a bone breaking schedule of concerts around the world in support of the record. A video for “Remove, Separate Self” was released creating even more interest in this significant recording.<\/p>\n

Recorded over the summer of 2014 and released in early 2015, PRONG\u0092s cover album
\u0093Songs From The Black Hole\u0094was loved by fans and critics alike. Always game to make the unexpected move, the album featured songs from artists as diverse as Hu\u00a8sker Du\u00a8, The Bad Brains, Black Flag, The Sisters Of Mercy and Neil Young.<\/p>\n

After yet another headline tour, it was straight back to the studio for another studio album. Just days after mixing was completed, PRONG went on the road with Danzig and SuperJoint Ritual in North America and released the first single \u0093Ultimate Authority\u0094 on the day the tour began.<\/p>\n

The album that followed,\u00a0\u0093X\u00a0\u0096 No Absolutes\u0094, was once again PRONG at their very best. The sheer intensity and ferocity of the albums opening triumvirate \u0093Ultimate Authority\u0094, \u0093Sense Of Ease\u0094 and \u0093Without Words\u0094 left the listener gasping for air. The album was once again followed by a massive world wide touring campaign, this time as special guest to Obituary and Exodus in Europe and to Testament and Sepultura in North America.<\/p>\n

In between tours, Tommy Victor managed to write and record yet another album, his fourth album of all new works and his sixth recording project in as little as five years. Describing him as being at his most prolific is an understatement.<\/p>\n

The new PRONG-Album\u00a0\u0093ZERO DAYS\u0094\u00a0is another monster of an album, another step towards refining the perfect PRONG-Sound and another album that lacks any filler or lacklustre moment.<\/p>\n

Musically, it hits home from the first bars of the mighty opener \u0093However It May End\u0094 to the last bars of the albums closing track \u0093Wasting Of The Dawn\u0094. Every track is it\u0092s own emotional roller-coaster ride, chock-full of massive riffage, ironclad grooves and topped off by Victor\u0092s ever-improving vocal delivery.<\/p>\n

\u0093ZERO DAYS\u0094\u00a0was once again produced by Tommy Victor, with trusted collaborator Chris Collier as co-producer and engineer.<\/p>\n
