PRONG - Ruining Lives (CD)

RUINING LIVES is the follow-up to the acclaimed 2012 release CARVED INTO STONE and continues to show the band on an upward trajectory, proving that despite having a long, illustrious career Prong can still make records that matter and re-invent themselves without negating their roots. With Tommy Victor in the producer's chair and Steve Evetts once again coming in to put his trademark shine on the record, RUINING LIVES has turned out to be a monster of an album. From the first riff-assault of the opener 'Turnover', the album takes you on an angst-filled roller coaster ride that marries some very old school, BEG TO DIFFER-elements with Post-Punk, Industrial Metal, Hardcore Thrash, all the while retaining a modern and current feel. Fans of the bands legendary, genre-defining CLEANSING-era and new fans alike will be thrilled.
