Prong's Rude Awakening stands as one of the most defining moments in 1990s industrial metal, originally released in 1996 and recorded at the legendary Sunset Sound Factory. The album showcases the band's signature blend of crushing grooves and machine-tight riffing, featuring a powerhouse lineup that includes drummer Ted Parsons and bassist Paul Raven — both veterans of acclaimed acts like Killing Joke and Ministry. Prong's influence on the era was undeniable, with their distinctive sound helping to shape the direction of bands that followed in their wake.
Rude Awakening delivers a relentless sonic punch, balancing melody and aggression in a way that has kept it a staple for fans of heavy music for nearly three decades. This Music On Vinyl release is packaged in a deluxe sleeve with a linen laminate finish and includes an insert, making it a thoughtful presentation of a genuine genre classic. Whether you're rediscovering this album or hearing it for the first time, this pressing is a worthy way to experience one of Prong's most celebrated records.
