13th Planet Records is preparing a remix Cd as a follow-up to
Prong's latest studio album,
"Power of the Damager".
Chris Kniker of
Amped Records Inc. has been named executive producer of this project.
Deadlines for consideration on this release are as follows:
November 30, 2008 ? Initial contact with executive producer
January 25, 2009 ? Submission of master remix to executive producer
"Power of the Damager" sold 1,400 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to
Nielsen SoundScan. The Cd "maintains the razor-sharp signature riffs band founder
Tommy Victor has perfected over the last 20 years while harkening back to the rawness of
Prong's pioneering years as industrial metal's native son," according to a press release. "Most notable is the record's in-your-face production, which came courtesy of
Victor himself."
Joining
Victor in the
Prong trio is bassist
Monte Pittman, a
Prong veteran who does double-duty as tour guitarist for none other than
Madonna, and drummer
Aaron Rossi.
"Power of the Damager" is
Prong's first release for
Ministry mainman
Al Jourgensen's
13th Planet Records, a relationship that was kindled while
Victor played with
Jourgensen in
Ministry.

Tommy Victor during the Canadian leg of
