Wrapping up the year with a bang, NYC heavy metal icons PRONG are pleased to announce their upcoming North American co-headline tour with Canadian heavy metal connoisseurs VOÏVOD, taking place in early 2024! The upcoming run begins on February 28 in Columbus, OH, and will visit a slew of US cities – as well as Vancouver, BC – coming to an end in Stroudsburg, PA on March 24.

Tickets go on sale at 12:00PM EST tomorrow, Friday, December 15, and can be purchased via local venues or by visiting www.prongmusic.com.

This tour marks a reunion of sorts for the two bands, who have long admired each other’s work and have been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to hit the road together once again. Fans can expect a blend of new hits and classic favorites, delivered with the raw energy and passion that both bands are renowned for.

The decision to embark on this tour was an easy one for both bands, united by their fresh and acclaimed new records. PRONG’s 13th album, ‘State of Emergency’, was released on October 6, 2023 via Steamhammer/SPV to high acclaim, debuting at #5 on the US Current Hard Music Albums chart, #9 on the Top New Artist Albums chart and landing at #17 on the Metal Contraband year end spins chart.

The unrelenting record was praised by Metal Injection as “the strongest PRONG record to hit the streets in the recent past,” while Blabbermouth dubbed it “another formidable contribution to an increasingly impressive legacy”. VOÏVOD also recently released their 40th anniversary album, ‘Morgöth Tales’.

PRONG’s latest album, ‘State of Emergency’, is a furious tableau of East Coast aggression, enveloped in that classic PRONG sound that never goes out of 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 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!”

The album closes with a cover of “Working Man”, by the legendary RUSH:

“RUSH was the first power trio I ever saw live and I was blown away by them. ‘Working Man’ is so simple and it’s so heavy. I also love the lyric. I thought it would be great tuned down a bit and slowed down, and I think we nailed it.”
