Prong Reveals "X - No Absolutes" Album Release Date

After a self-prescribed hiatus, 2012 saw Prong blow the hinges off the door with the release of "Carved Into Stone." Seemingly out of nowhere, Tommy Victor and company managed to combine all the previous elements of the band's formula: thrash, hardcore, industrial metal, etc. with a new urgency and angst that struck a deep nerve with the band's loyal fan-base and beyond.

The band marched onwards with 2014's "Ruining Lives," which spawned a number of instant classics. This was followed by Prong's cover album "Songs From The Black Hole."

After a headline tour, it was straight back to the studio for another album. Just days after mixing was completed, Prong went on the road with Danzig and SuperJoint Ritual in North America and released the first single "Ultimate Authority" on the day the tour began.

"X - No Absolutes" is Prong's defining moment, with Tommy Victor mentioning that "sequencing the album was a difficult task; every song is so strong in it's own way."

Again produced by Tommy Victor, this time with trusted collaborator Chris Collier as co-producer and engineer, "X - No Absolutes" also broadens the horizon sonically. The new album will be released through SPV/Steamhammer on February 5, 2016 as digipak (incl. bonus track+poster), 2 LP Gatefold version (coloured vinyl, CD in paper sleeve) and download.
