Prong have announced that they’ll release their new album Zero Days this summer.
The US trio revealed the title of the record in February, but stopped short of giving away further details.
Now it’s been confirmed that Zero Days will be released on July 28 via Steamhammer/SPV on CD digipak, 2LP gatefold and through digital services.
Prong leader Tommy Victor says: “I must say a lot of effort was put into this new Zero Days recording. From the minute I would get off tour, I would consolidate ideas from the road and form new ones.
“Again the focus was on creating good songs. We wanted this record to be modern as well as holding justice to all the previous releases. Again and maybe even more than normally, I went crazy meticulous with the lyrics.
“I had built up a lot to say and I wanted to articulate them in the most intelligent way possible. I firmly believe the mission was accomplished all around.”
Victor adds: “We are really pleased with the performances on this record. It’s a solid outing. We have the anthems, the bangers, the thrashers, the grooves, everything that makes up a Prong record.
“It’s definitely a record to listen to start to finish!”
Prong will head out on the road across Europe from next month for a run of 25 shows. Find the tour dates below, along with the Zero Days tracklist and cover art.
