PRONG last year spent a week at a studio in Berlin, Germany recording an album of covers, “Songs From The Black Hole”, to be released via SPV/Steamhammer as a special CD and LP edition in Scandinavia on March 25, in Germany on March 27, in the rest of Europe on March 30 and in the USA on March 31.
Says PRONG mainman Tommy Victor: “PRONG is very excited about the upcoming release of our new record, ‘Songs From The Black Hole’, and equally excited about the artwork and packaging.
“Since the record explores PRONG’s roots, musically and geographically, this needed to be expressed visually and this was attained.
“With the help of our art director Mike Lopez, the theme of urban decay, desolation, insecurity and ultimate change that prevails in the music has been brought to the surface in images.
“Since much of PRONG’s origins come from a place of abandonment, we feel our new album artwork fully reflects this sentiment.
“I think one can get a grip of the hard hitting, dangerous sounds inside from a glimpse of the packaging of ‘Songs From The Black Hole’.
“We certainly hope you enjoy this latest release, inside and out.“
According to Victor, “Songs From The Black Hole” will feature the following tracks, among others:
* BLACK FLAG – “The Bars”
* BAD BRAINS – “Banned In D.C.”
* ADOLESCENTS – “Kids Of The Black Hole”
* THE SISTERS OF MERCY – “Vision Thing”
* KILLING JOKE – “Seeing Red”
* HÜSKER DÜ – Everything Falls Apart
* NEIL YOUNG – Cortez The Killer
Adds Victor: “PRONG is excited to announce 2015 European tour dates in conjunction with our upcoming release, ‘Songs From The Black Hole’.
