In an interview for Decibel magazine, Tommy Victor describes the first time he saw Killing Joke live as a life-changing moment. “That's it! Everybody else sucks!,” he recalls his own thoughts. So it's not surprising that 'Songs from the Black Hole,' the covers album with which PRONG pay homage to their biggest influences, features a Killing Joke song – more so, one which the English post-punk band originally recorded with bassist Paul Raven, who had a long tenure in PRONG as well.

Frankly, there's hardly anything else that's surprising in 'Songs from the Black Hole.' The album is a collection of covers, all quite faithful to the originals, with which PRONG make a deconstruction of sorts of their own sound. More.
