Power of The Damn MiXXXer remix compilation in follow-up to the 2007 Prong release Power of The Damager. The release date is slated for May 12, 2009. Prong will support the release with European festival and club tour dates through the summer, beginning May through June 2009.

Additionally, week of street date, Prong is set to perform at Tucson’s Suicidal Metalfest May 9th, the festival to be hosted by 13th Planet Records chief henchman, Ministry’s Al Jourgensen. The following evening, May 10th, Prong headlines a local Tucson club show before packing up and heading to Europe for a 25-city tour.

From the beginning Prong’s front man Tommy Victor has penned traditional rock song-structures merged with simple steel bar riffs, atonalism, art-rock atmospheres, all culminating in a crushing sound – songs curiously pleasing to the ears while they liquefy the listener’s brain.

Every time Prong has been ignored by the mainstream whilst being revered by the underground, or worse still ripped off by lesser, spineless musicians without a creative pot of their own to piss in, Victor would allow a little more grudge, a little more sludge, a little more mudge and a fair few vials of distilled, frustrated, blood-and-bile infused anger to seep into the mix.

Dissonant, dark, dirty and at times rather deranged, Tommy Victor always did swing his D’s low, hard and squarely at your skull. Power of The Damager is an angry record. It’s a real record.

Its remixed counterpart Power of The Damn MiXXXer equally conjures the same dissonant, dark, dirty, and deranged emotions and brings them to a boil. This isn’t some half-baked feel good remix record aimed at dance floor DJ’s. It’s always better to get the scoop straight from the man himself and Tommy V. offers up the following, “We are really excited about this remix compilation of ‘Power of The Damager’ material. We feel the LP was overlooked and in some cases ignored. But the added elements provided by the great remixers, producers, and deejays infused with all the tracks make Power of The Damn MiXXXer’ an interesting yet enjoyable listening experience.”
