Nearly two years after the release of Prong’s latest album, “State of Emergency” (2023), the New York City metal band has signed a worldwide deal with Napalm Records.
Formed in 1986 by Tommy Victor, Prong’s discography includes classic albums such as “Beg to Differ” (1990), “Prove You Wrong” (1991), “Cleansing” (1994) and “Rude Awakening” (1996).
“Oh man, I am honored, thrilled and excited that Prong is now with Napalm Records,” Victor said. “It’s simply a fantastic label to be on. I’m so happy about it!”
Prong’s signing comes just prior to the band’s European headline tour celebrating 31 years of “Cleansing,” kicking off July 30, 2025, in Hamburg, Germany. Featuring support from Escuela Grind and Vlad in Tears, the upcoming tour will visit several European countries, coming to an end Aug. 16 at Angeliter Open Air in Taarstedt, Germany. The tour will see Prong performing at Brutal Assault Festival, Alcatraz Metal Festival and many others.
Before the European tour, Prong will headline a one-off show in Amityville, New York, and post-tour in October, the band will perform another one-off show at The Whisky in Los Angeles, California, before hitting the stage at Aftershock Festival in Sacramento.
