This is truly a live (!) record, everything is as is. You can hear some of the little mistakes here and there, but that makes it cool!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At last October&#8217;s&nbsp;<strong>Aftershock<\/strong>&nbsp;festival in Sacramento, California,&nbsp;<strong>Victor<\/strong>&nbsp;told&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@rocknewsweekly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rock News Weekly<\/a>&nbsp;about&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Live And Uncleansed&#8221;<\/strong>: ?&#8221;It&#8217;s from the last tour we did. We picked and chose from a European tour \u2014 picked and chose from a selection of 14 different shows. They really centered around \u2014 it came down to four shows that were good, and we picked from them. It&#8217;s a short record, though. It&#8217;s gonna be just a single vinyl and a single CD. And then we&#8217;re going in \u2014 we signed to&nbsp;<strong>Napalm Records<\/strong>, and the [new&nbsp;<strong>PRONG<\/strong>] studio album will be out in October [of 2026].&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Formed in 1986 by&nbsp;<strong>Victor<\/strong>&nbsp;and cemented into American metal legend,&nbsp;<strong>PRONG<\/strong>&nbsp;have never released their grip on the scene. From the &#8217;80s club basements of New York City to the&nbsp;<strong>MTV &#8220;Headbangers Ball&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;era with &#8217;90s classics&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Beg To Differ&#8221;<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Prove You Wrong&#8221;<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Cleansing&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Rude Awakening&#8221;<\/strong>, to their official return in the late aughts and today,&nbsp;<strong>PRONG<\/strong>&nbsp;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PRONG<\/strong>&#8216;s new partnership with&nbsp;<strong>Napalm Records<\/strong>&nbsp;was announced in June 2025. It came on the heels of the band&#8217;s European headline tour celebrating 31 years of their aforementioned 1994 album&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Cleansing&#8221;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe title=\"Prong - Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck (live)  (Official Video)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nM_i6Bt8mtg?start=1&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Asked by&nbsp;<strong>Metal Insider<\/strong>&nbsp;if he had any fond memories of making&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Cleansing&#8221;<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Victor<\/strong>&nbsp;said: &#8220;Yeah, in the studio, there&#8217;s a lot of fond memories. The preparation for it and the chaos that consumed the whole pre-production period, and I&#8217;ve been through it so many times in my career. Member changes, namely&nbsp;<strong>Troy Gregory<\/strong>&nbsp;leaving, and again the bulk of the work being thrown on me to solve all these problems while handling the business and personal matters. I remember that being extremely stressful. I think it catered to the inevitable\/possible disappointment with&nbsp;<strong>&#8216;Rude Awakening&#8217;<\/strong>, and I just remembered how much work and how much sacrifices I had to make in order for those records to come into fruition. But the process was great. I mean, working with&nbsp;<strong>Terry Date<\/strong>&nbsp;was always a pleasure, more so on&nbsp;<strong>&#8216;Cleansing&#8217;<\/strong>. I got to mix a record with him at&nbsp;<strong>Electric Lady Studios<\/strong>&nbsp;in New York, which is an experience I will never forget. We had a lot of fun with the guitar tracks, and again with&nbsp;<strong>PRONG<\/strong>, it wound up being a solitary experience. That&#8217;s just the way it is. I mean, people tend to think a lot of times that when you&#8217;re making records, and I guess if you&#8217;re a rap artist this may not apply, you&#8217;re surrounded by this posse and everyone&#8217;s partying, you&#8217;re in the studio listening to the same track over and over again, bringing your buddies in to hear stuff, like as if that was the &#8217;90s. It wasn&#8217;t like that for&nbsp;<strong>PRONG<\/strong>&nbsp;at all. I was in the studio all day long with&nbsp;<strong>Terry<\/strong>, making decisions, laying guitar tracks on it, vocals, and the traveling. At that point, the budget was enough where we did sessions in multiple places. Then when you finish the mixes, there&#8217;s always the mastering problem. That record was mastered four times before we settled on the brilliant mastering that we inevitably had. So, I mean, it&#8217;s a great-sounding record. There is an amazing magic to that record, and a lot of that record came together by accident. It was just one of those great moments in my life.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;State Of Emergency&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;came out in October 2023 via&nbsp;<strong>Steamhammer<\/strong>\/<strong>SPV<\/strong>. The LP was helmed by producer&nbsp;<strong>Steve Evetts<\/strong>&nbsp;(<strong>SEPULTURA<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN<\/strong>) and included a cover of&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Working Man&#8221;<\/strong>, originally written and recorded by the legendary&nbsp;<strong>RUSH<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;State Of Emergency&#8221;<\/strong>&#8216;s arrival,&nbsp;<strong>Victor<\/strong>&nbsp;stated about the LP&#8217;s stylistic direction: &#8220;It&#8217;s a very&nbsp;<strong>PRONG<\/strong>&nbsp;record. I think it&#8217;s totally genre-transcending and definitely ignores what&#8217;s going on out there these days.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commenting on his artistic approach, he said: &#8220;I like all kinds of music. This record totally reflects that because it covers lots of different angles. At the same time,&nbsp;<strong>&#8216;State Of Emergency&#8217;<\/strong>&nbsp;is very guitar-oriented and a typical example of my style.'&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PRONG&nbsp;will release a new live album,&nbsp;&#8220;Live And Uncleansed&#8221;, on March 6 via&nbsp;SPV\/Steamhammer.
