Prong - Carved In Stone (new album)

Lost track of Prong after Cleansing (when Tommy broke up the band-like Suicidal Tenencies it didn't last long) but after these glowing reviews I guess I should get this one.

Yes, you need to get it.

Official video for "Revenge...Best Served Cold". This is one of my favorite tracks from the new album.

Interesting that Tony Campos is in the band. I didn't know that. I always said Static-X had a lot of Prong influence in their music, so that's a cool little connection, I guess. A fitting one, anyway.

Wayne Static has said that Prong was one of his biggest influences.

Currently, my favorite song from the album is "Putting Myself To Sleep".

I had one of their albums back in the day. I forget the title. It had the song 'Snap Your Finger, Snap Your Neck' on it. I think I saw them live too as an opening act for someone. Ozzy maybe? Don't recall much about the album aside from that one song though and got rid of it, never thinking of these guys again.

Groovy-thrashiness you say? Maybe I need to re-visit their catalog.

Cleansing is the album, and it's a great one. The main riff for "Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck" is one of the baddest riffs ever written.

Here's another great one from that album:

their best song imho....

Prong was always a band that used thrash an an "ingredient" without ever actually being a thrash band.

As well as industrial and other styles, which is why they're not more popular. They're not enough of any one style.

Which is the reason I like them so much. All my favorite bands during that era didn't fit neatly into any style (well, I guess that still applies now as well).

MG, I'd check out Beg To Differ, I still think that's my favorite Prong album and is unbelievably catchy.

I'll third the Beg To Differ suggestion. One of my favorite albums ever.

I've listened to about 5 tracks from Carved In Stone now. Gonna have to pick this one up!

I really love the slide guitar solo on that one.

My cousin at the show with me caught the slide when he threw it into the crowd. I was gonna beat him up & take it but he is bigger than me!

Just got this one, fantastic album!
