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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Produced by the skillful hands of legendary producer\u00a0<strong>Steve Evetts<\/strong>\u00a0(<strong>SEPULTURA<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN<\/strong>),<strong>&#8220;State Of Emergency&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0surprises on the post-punk track\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Disconnected&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0and then grooves on the title track. Originally released as a standalone single in early 2023,\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Breaking Point&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0takes no prisoners with honest lyrics and cutting attitude, while hard-hitting\u00a0<strong>&#8220;The Descent&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0is a lightning quick, classic ripper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Back (NYC)&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;has&nbsp;<strong>Victor<\/strong>&nbsp;saying: &#8220;To me it&#8217;s as if&nbsp;<strong>Jimmy Page<\/strong>&nbsp;wrote a song playing through&nbsp;<strong>Dimebag<\/strong>&#8216;s amplifier, with&nbsp;<strong>Henry Rollins<\/strong>&nbsp;singing. Kind of a weird experiment, for sure!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The album closes with 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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;<strong>RUSH<\/strong>&nbsp;was the first power trio I ever saw live and I was blown away by them,&#8221;&nbsp;<strong>Tommy<\/strong>&nbsp;said. &#8220;&#8216;Working Man&#8217; is so simple and it&#8217;s so heavy. I also love the lyric. I thought it would be great tuned down a bit and slowed down, and I think we nailed it.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PRONG&nbsp;celebrated the release of its thirteenth studio album,&nbsp;&#8220;State Of Emergency&#8221;, last Friday (October 6) by playing a special set Record Stop in Patchogue, New York.
