New York City native metal icons PRONG and rock and metal label Napalm Records have officially joined forces, inking a worldwide record deal. Formed in 1986 by founder/frontman and longtime HardRadio friend Tommy Victor, Prong have never released their grip on the scene. From the 80s club basements of NYC, to the MTV Headbanger's Ball era with 90s classics Beg to Differ, Prove You Wrong, Cleansing and Rude Awakening, to their official return in the late aughts and today, Prong have stood their ground as household names in the metal universe, continuing to put out grippingly gritty, provocative and vital records for the next generation of heavy music fans. Napalm Records is proud to welcome Prong to their multifaceted roster. Tommy on signing to Napalm Records: "Oh man, I am honored, thrilled and excited that Prong is now with Napalm Records. It's simply a fantastic label to be on. I'm so happy about it!"
