Die Groovekings von PRONG legen ein neues Album vor."Ruining Lives" erscheint am 25. April - die neue Scheibe im Gepäck geht die Band um Tommy Victor natürlich auch auf Tour.
Bandchef Victor war bei dem Nachfolger des 2012er-Albums "Carve In Stone" auch Produzent und ist sichtlich stolz auf "Ruining Lives". Das sagt er selbst zum neuen Album:
“This is the fastest written and recorded PRONG-album ever and it has more great songs than any previous PRONG-record. I am particularly proud of the vocal performance and I think we captured some outstanding sounds on this album. There’s a little bit of a throwback element here. “Ruining Lives” is almost a “Force Fed” type of song. The album is a hybrid between NY Hardcore and some very modern, song oriented work. You will find some “Rude Awakening” but also some solid, crushing riffs. I feel we have captured the best elements of PRONG on this album. “Come To Realize” is something new - we have never approached this kind of time-signature. It really is math-metal meets pure hardcore with a crazy-ass riff. What’s exciting about the whole album is you have your hooks, your riffs and something innovative that makes the album very current. This qualifies as the hybrid nature of PRONG: marrying post-punk, industrial metal, hardcore thrash and modern elements — all of that with hooks and not just a bunch of screaming.”
