ALBUM REVIEW: Prong – State of Emergency
Tommy Victor is an unsung hero of Rock. The Prong frontman (and the band’s only constant) has been putting out great records under the Prong banner since 1989’s Force Fed. Between then and the band’s latest — thirteenth studio album State of Emergency (Steamhammer / SPV) — there’s been a brief flirtation with commercial success in the early-mid nineties, an extended hiatus before and after the band’s unfairly-maligned Scorpio Rising album from 2003, and a steady stream of quality material over recent years.

CONCERT REVIEW: Prong – Damn Your Eyes – Blud Red Roses Live at Debonair Music Hall
I’m a big fan of Prong so I was obviously excited back in September when my editor texted me to let me know my request had been approved for the show that evening. Unfortunately, I didn’t know that a few short days later I would be in a horrific car accident that would have me off of commission and bed-bound for a few months. so that night was gonna become more memorable for me as it would be the last one for a while.Continue reading
CONCERT REVIEW: Overkill – Prong – Cultus Black: Live at The Chance
It’s really good to visit The Chance for a show after two years. It’s a long Metro-North Railroad train ride from the city but it’s always worth it once you’re there.
CONCERT REVIEW: Black Label Society – Obituary – Prong: Live at Ace of Spades
Getting fully back into concert mode has been fun, but also scary on some levels as a fan. I need live music in my life, bad, but I am nervous around small clubs and tons of people right now, since the pandemic is still a thing. Nevertheless, I got the opportunity to cover legends like Black Label Society, Obituary, and Prong all at the same show, no less, and so I had to handle my emotions and nerves (I have pretty bad anxiety on the reg) and trooped out to Sacramento’s respected Ace of Spades club.

Danzig, often very low-key on social media, has updated the fans on the 2020 plans for the band.
