Of the plethora of legends born from the primordial ooze bubbling at New York’s most iconic punk club, CBGBs, there is only one Prong. Forming during the venue’s late 80s renaissance period alongside hardcore legends like Gorilla Biscuits, Madball, Sick Of It All, and Biohazard, Prong set themselves apart with melodic sensibility on formative records like Beg To Differ (1990) and Cleansing (1994), becoming mainstays on the iconic MTV’s “Headbangers Ball”. With their boundary-pushing fusion of classic New York Hardcore, infectious grooves, and industrial textures Prong laid the foundation for numerous styles of post-hardcore like groove metal, industrial metal, and crossover thrash. Since then, the band has done countless world tours becoming regulars at seminal festivals like Wacken and Brutal Assault. Now, they return with their Napalm Records, self-titled debut out November 6, 2026.
Prong is available for pre-order on vinyl and CD here and digital here.
