'Prong' Releases New Album "Scorpio Rising"

On Locomotive Music Germany

HOLLYWOOD (PRWEB) April 25, 2004--Be aware of SCORPIO RISING - the ultimate Prong sound of the new century. This is the definite soundtrack for the year 2004. High quality, totall honesty and absolutely Prong. The current incarnation of Prong includes singer/guitarist/founder Tommy Victor, drummer Dan Laudo and the band also is accompanied by guitarist Monte Pittman, a longtime friend of Victor and an alumnus of Madonnas recent Drowned World Tour.

Prongs lineup has been very fluid over the years, with Victor being the only constant. He says he initially considered touring under a different moniker. For a while, I thought, 'I wont use this name; Prong is a dead entity," he says. But really it isnt, because a good 95% of the material has been mine throughout the years, so I figured, 'Might as well just keep it going. Theres people out there that want to hear it, and I owe it to them."

"The new music is similar to Rude Awakening, but maybe even a little more simplistic," says Victor. "This time I started with lyrics, and developed from there, from what I've got going on personally, dealing with this planet Earth. All the songs are about something different, but theyre all about the same thing- Innocence gone. On Rude Awakening, everyone was insane, and I was in that frame of mind. These songs are more like a sequel to Rude Awakening--That was about the craziness of the world, and this is more about how Im dealing with it..."

From the nuclear bomb that graced the cover, to the lyrics that permeated the album, there was a lot of fear on Rude Awakening. The difference now, is that Victor has learned to cope with that fear, and has realized he has no control over it. "Everything fell apart, and that happens with everybody-Someway, somehow, you have to endure and put it all back together again, and thats what I had to do."
