Prong Release 'The Banner' Video As Tommy Victor Leads New Album Era

Prong have released the official video for “The Banner,” the opening track from their upcoming self-titled album Prong, scheduled for release on November 6, 2026 through Napalm Records.

The single follows the announcement of the band’s forthcoming Napalm Records debut and offers the first direct preview of the album’s sound.

Rockum previously covered the album announcement in Prong Announce Self-Titled Napalm Records Debut For November 2026, documenting the release date, tracklist, formats and European tour dates before the arrival of “The Banner.”

“The Banner” opens Prong with direct riffing, heavy rhythmic force and the vocal attack of frontman Tommy Victor. The source material describes the track as the album’s first taste and as a mission statement for the record.

Victor said the band were eager to share the song as the first single from the self-titled album.

“We are unbelievably excited to share the first single, ‘The Banner,’ from our upcoming self-titled record,” Victor said. “Andy Sneap's mix and master is absolutely blistering and ferocious. This is just the beginning and we hope you enjoy it.”

Prong released the official music video for “The Banner.”

The video introduces the album cycle after the earlier announcement of Prong, positioning the track as the first visual preview of the band’s Napalm Records debut.

Prong is the band’s self-titled album and first release through Napalm Records. The record is built around the range of styles that have shaped the band’s catalog, including thrash metal, industrial metal, hardcore force, groove and melodic hooks.

The album was mixed and mastered by Andy Sneap. The source material describes the production as crisp and punchy, with Victor’s lyrics addressing themes such as truth, self-inhibitors and altruism.

The album opens with “The Banner,” which brings together thrash-driven sections and larger chorus writing.

“New Commission” pushes the intensity forward, while “The Uprising” reintroduces the band’s industrial edge through textured synths and a pulsing rhythm.

“Uncertain Truth” highlights the album’s melodic side, while “Fear The Sun” brings the record back into heavier territory connected to New York hardcore energy.

“Proportionate Response” places Tommy Victor’s guitar and vocal presence at the center of the album, while “Simulated Drowning” continues the forward motion.

The album closes with “Our Continuance,” described in the source material as methodical, heavy and built around discordant breakdowns and a larger chorus shaped by synth textures.

Prong are a New York alternative metal band led by vocalist and guitarist Tommy Victor. Across their catalog, the band have moved through thrash, hardcore, industrial metal, groove and alternative metal without being limited to a single category.

The self-titled album places those elements into a new chapter through Napalm Records, while “The Banner” introduces the record with the kind of directness and aggression associated with the band’s long-running identity.

Through “The Banner,” Prong open their self-titled Napalm Records album with a track that reconnects the band’s thrash, hardcore, industrial and alternative metal foundations. The single also moves the album cycle from announcement to impact, setting up the November release and the Prong Uprising European tour.
