Prong have shared a visualizer video for their cover version of the Rush classic "Working Man," which appears as a shorter version on their latest album 'State of Emergency'.
Tommy Victor had this to say about the cover, “Rush had the big riffs and that’s something Prong always wants as well. Especially in the song 'Working Man' with that all-time classic opening riff.
"Prong being a power trio also connects us to this great Canadian band, and ironically we’re going out on tour with another great Canadian band, Voivod!”
Freeman Promotions sent over the following: 'State of Emergency' is a furious tableau of East Coast aggression, enveloped in that classic PRONG sound that never goes out of style. Tommy Victor outlines the stylistic direction of the eleven songs that make up 'State of Emergency':
“It’s a very ‘PRONG’ record. I think it’s totally genre-transcending and definitely ignores what’s going on out there these days,”
Commenting about his artistic approach on 'State of Emergency', Victor says: “I like all kinds of music. This record totally reflects that because it covers lots of different angles. At the same time, ‘State Of Emergency’ is very guitar-oriented and a typical example of my style."
Produced by the skillful hands of legendary producer Steve Evetts (Sepultura, The Dillinger Escape Plan), 'State of Emergency' surprises on the post-punk track "Disconnected" and then grooves on the title track. Originally released as a standalone single in early 2023, “Breaking Point” takes no prisoners with honest lyrics and a cutting attitude, while hard-hitting "The Descent" is a lightning-quick, classic ripper. "Back (NYC)" has Victor saying: “To me, it’s as if Jimmy Page wrote a song playing through Dimebag’s amplifier, with Henry Rollins singing. Kind of a weird experiment for sure!”
