Biography
New York City, New York, US (1986 – 1997, 2003 – present)
Prong was founded in 1986 by singer/guitarist Tommy Victor (then a soundman at New York City’s renowned CBGB’s). With bassist Mike Kirkland (formely of NYHC band Damage and doorman at CBGB’s) and ex-Swans drummer Ted Parsons, Prong released two independent CDs that were noted for their brutal hardcore sound.
Epic Records saw the band’s potential and signed them in 1989. Prong’s major label debut album Beg to Differ, was released in 1990.
In the following year, Kirkland left the band and was replaced by Ex-Flotsam and Jetsam bassist Troy Gregory. Prong issued their fourth release Prove You Wrong which saw the band experiment with programming and electronic samples while still retaining an aggressive yet melodic sensibility.
By 1994, Troy Gregory was out of the band and was replaced by Paul Raven (bassist) and John Bechdel (keyboard), both from Killing Joke and Murder, Inc. The new line up released Cleansing (Prong’s 5th major release).

Cleansing is their best album in my eyes. Tommy Victor's guitar tone is simply beautiful and it just crushes.

Call me crazy, but Prong can sometimes sound like a more metallic Helmet to me... I hear some Page Hamilton in Tommy's vox. Throw in the riff-centric approach to songwriting... ~Aftertaste / Cleansing~.

I was thinking that the new album is going to be bad, but then I was bitch-slapped by its awesomeness! Now I cant stop listening to it.

It all starts with Prove You Wrong for me... my 2 favorites are probably Carved into Stone and Scorpio Rising. They got better as time went on (with Power of the Damager being an exception, poor effort.) but toss-up for Cleansing and Rude Awakening - both have outstanding production by Terry Date (if you don't know who that is; don't wanna know ya) either of those albums would be 3rd/4th for me...
