According to the blog post, "Before the drum machines, remixes, and guest appearances, PRONG was a very lonely metalcore trio from the Lower East Side of New York. Forget about ANTHRAX and OVERKILL — theirs was the New York City of Tompkins Square police riots, WARZONE, art/noise, and urban decay. While hatecore groups like SHEER TERROR and SCHOOL OF VIOLENCE were running back and forth between the metal and hardcore neighborhoods in 1986, PRONG were squatting on something special and different. Out of step with any thrash trends, PRONG came into the speed/thrash/core game sounding like an unholy fusion of early SONIC YOUTH and MEGADETH, and the world slowly took notice..."

Heavy music innovators PRONG have set "Carved Into Stone" as the title of their new album, due later in the year via Long Branch Records/SPV. The CD is currently being recorded with producer Steve Evetts, who has previously worked with THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, SYMPHONY X, SEPULTURA and HATEBREED, among others.

According to a press release, "Carved Into Stone" "is quintessentially PRONG. It stretches into the band's earliest and dirtiest foundations on which the band was founded on New York's Lower East Side to the present as a staple of today's post-metal and rock scenes."

Comments PRONG guitarist, vocalist and founder Tommy Victor: "It was hardest I've ever worked in the studio on any record I've ever been involved with."

PRONG — whose lineup is rounded out by bassist Tony Campos and drummer Alexei Rodriguez — has taken a major step forward in their constantly evolving brand of sonic schematics.

"I always believed there were many dimensions to PRONG," says Tommy. "Every record we've been associated with different scenes — hardcore, metal, industrial — even dance! I think this record brings all of that together and sounds very modern at the same time."

Prong's new album is coming together. The US industrial metallers are currently mixing their new album, which should come out this year. For now, we know that it will be called Ruining Lives and the cover artwork has also been unveiled. You can take a look at it below. Who is excited about the successor to Carved Into Stone?

Ruining Lives is the follow-up to the acclaimed 2012 release Carved Into Stone and continues to show the band on an upward trajectory, proving that despite having a long, illustrious career PRONG can still make records that matter and re-invent themselves without negating their roots.

With Tommy Victor in the producer’s chair and Steve Evetts (HATEBREED, SICK OF IT ALL, SEPULTURA) once again coming in to put his trademark shine on the record, Ruining Lives has turned out to be a monster of an album. From the first riff-assault of the opener “Turnover”, the album takes you on an angst-filled roller coaster ride that marries some very old school, Beg To Differ-elements with post-punk, industrial metal, hardcore thrash, all the while retaining a modern and current feel. Fans of the band's legendary genre-defining Cleansing-era and new fans alike will be thrilled.

Tommy Victor about Ruining Lives: “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.”

Ruining Lives will be released now through Steamhammer/SPV in Scandinavia on April 23rd, in Germany on April 25th, in Europe on April 28th and in the US/Canada on May 13th as a limited digipak version incl. 1 bonus track and poster, as a double gatefold coloured vinyl version incl. 1 bonus track and the CD in cardboard sleeve, as a standard version and download.
