Show Review: Prong @ The National (Richmond, VA) on July 22, 2012

Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to see metal band Prong on a few different occasions and I’ve always enjoyed them immensely. It had been a while since I saw them last though, and as such it was on this night that I set out to catch them in action once again. As expected, I was not disappointed at all. From the first note of the opening song, “For Dear Life”, font man Tommy Victor and the rest of the trio owned the stage, treating the nearly sold out crowd to a high energy show that had them singing along and pumping their fists in the air.

Highlights of the night for me were the tune “Revenge… Best Served Cold” off their newest disc Carved In Stone and the ever popular metal anthem “Snap Your Fingers, Snap your Neck.” At the end of the night it was great to see an iconic band like Prong still putting on such an energetic and memorable show. If they play anywhere near you I suggest checking them out.
