Victor continues, \”With the help of our art director Mike Lopez, the theme of urban decay, desolation, insecurity and ultimate change that prevails in the music has been brought to the surface in images. Since much of PRONG\’s origins come from a place of abandonment, we feel our new album artwork fully reflects this sentiment.\” The track list is far from traditional. With covers of artists like Neil Young, Black Flag, Bad Brains and Sisters of Mercy, the band casts their net wide. The goal, says Victor, was to explore the vast landscape that makes up the bands sound, stemming from their roots. \”Since the record explores PRONG\’s roots, musically and geographically, this needed to be expressed visually and this was attained.\”
