Watch a video message from Al Jourgenson and Tommy Victor about the new PRONG album below.

Victor was recently nominated for a Grammy with Jourgensen for the MINISTRY track "Lieslieslies" from "Rio Grande Blood", released by the 13th Planet imprint in May 2006. After completing a 56-city U.S. tour and 30-city European tour with MINISTRY in 2006, the Jourgensen/Victor team immediately set to penning the upcoming MINISTRY release "The Last Sucker", also scheduled for release in October.

Says Jourgensen: "Tommy's like stepping on a piece of gum. I tried like hell to get rid of him, but he kept coming back...looks like we're stuck together...again."

PRONG's last CD, 2004's "Scorpio Rising", was released after a long hiatus from the rock scene. "I had to do something, no matter what it was," stated Tommy Victor. "Looking back, I don't feel like it was an appropriate release under the PRONG moniker. I still feel like the best is yet to come."

PRONG will embark on a five-week U.S. tour in October and November, with a follow-up tour of Europe slated for January 2008.
