American power trio PRONG will release its new studio album, "Zero Days", in the summer via Steamhammer/SPV.

A European "Zero Days" tour, featuring appearances at some of the most coveted festivals as well as a run of headline shows, will kick off on June 16 at the Graspop Metal Meeting in Dessel, Belgium.

Says PRONG founder Tommy Victor: "Europe is a special place for PRONG and 2017 is shaping up to be another touring year for the history books. Many great festivals and great clubs are on the agenda and we will be bringing some new music along as well! We are extremely excited!"

American power trio PRONG has released a new digital single for the song "End Of Sanity". The track is taken from the band's forthcoming EP, "Age Of Defiance", which will be released on November 29 via SPV/Steamhammer.

PRONG leader Tommy Victor says: "'End Of Sanity' is a thrash/hardcore/crossover number in typical PRONG style which I wrote especially for our American tour with AGNOSTIC FRONT. If you're into PRONG, you'll love this track."

"Age Of Defiance", which was produced by Chris Collier, will include two new studio songs, the title cut and "End Of Sanity", along with live recordings of three tracks: "Rude Awakening", "Cut-Rate" and "Another Worldly Device".

The EP opens with the title song, "Age Of Defiance", which Victor describes as "pretty unusual for PRONG. It's extremely powerful, with a great groove, haunting chorus, everything's fresh and contemporary." "Age Of Defiance" also features three live cuts, recorded by Victor & co. during their major headlining tour at Berlin club Huxleys Neue Welt in April 2015: "Rude Awakening" from the same-named 1996 opus, plus "Another Worldly Device" and "Cut-Rate" from the 1994 major label album release "Cleansing". A total of five songs which forge an arc between past, present and future.
