Prong
Few bands have left as much of a mark on a genre as Prong. Or, to be more precise, singer, guitarist, composer, and full-time metal icon Tommy Victor has.
Alongside greats like Pantera, Sepultura, and Machine Head, Prong delivers a unique mix of groove, industrial, and thrash metal. Having started in the New York hardcore scene, the band has evolved into an influential force within the metal world.
Prong caught the attention of MTV's Headbangers Ball in the late 80s. Both ‘Beg to Differ’ and ‘Prove You Wrong’ achieved success, but it wasn't until ‘Cleansing’ (1994) and the single ‘Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck’ that they had their global breakthrough.
After a hiatus, the band returned in 2002 with numerous lineups, with only Victor remaining at his post to continue their groove metal mission. ‘State of Emergency’ (2023) is their latest and once again excellent album.
Special Guest: HARMFUL
Harmful is among Germany's most influential heavy-alternative bands. With extensive European tours, legendary support slots for the likes of Slayer, Machine Head, and Iggy Pop, and a period with Billy Gould (Faith No More) as a permanent member, Harmful built an impressive reputation.
Live, the band guarantees intense, raw heavy rock with massive impact. Following their comeback, sold-out club shows prove that Harmful is timeless.
