American metal band Prong brings its hard, fast and unrelenting sound to De Casino in Sint-Niklaas. Founded in 1986 in New York City, the band is known for a powerful blend of thrash metal, industrial and hardcore punk that has influenced generations of heavy acts. With this exclusive club show, fans can expect an intense, razor-sharp performance in one of Belgium’s most respected concert venues.
Pioneers of the metal underground
Frontman and founder Tommy Victor has been the creative driving force behind Prong for decades. With landmark albums such as “Beg to Differ” (1990) and “Cleansing” (1994), the band secured its status as a pioneer in the global metal scene. Those records delivered a unique mix of groove, aggression and industrial textures that helped define the sound of the 90s underground.
State of Emergency: Prong today
In 2023, Prong once again proved its unstoppable relevance with the high-energy album “State of Emergency”. The singles “Non-Existence” and “The Descent” hit hard with tight riffs, aggressive vocals and unmistakable East Coast attitude. Tracks like “Disconnected” and “Back (NYC)” show a band that keeps experimenting and refuses to play it safe, even after nearly four decades on stage and in the studio.
Live: raw, intense and timeless
On stage, Prong is pure demolition work: uncompromising energy, surgical precision and sheer power. Fans who have seen them live know the band still sounds like a storm – raw, intense and timeless. Expect a set packed with classics alongside newer material, delivered with the kind of volume and impact that turns De Casino into a metal battlefield.
Harmful: heavy alternative support with a legacy
German band Harmful opens the evening with heavy alternative rock built on decades of influence, world-class production and a no-compromise live presence. As the first BLU-NOISE band, they worked with legendary producer Guido Lucas, whose signature shaped the raw, relentless sound of their early years. Later collaborations with top producers like Dave Sardy (Oasis, System of a Down, Slayer, The Dandy Warhols) sharpened their albums and broadened their live ambitions.
A cult band returns to the stage
Harmful’s history includes European tours, high-profile support slots for Slayer, Machine Head, Iggy Pop and Papa Roach, and a remarkable period with Billy Gould (Faith No More) as a full member. On stage, Harmful delivers intense, heavy rock with enormous impact. After disbanding in 2014, the group is now back – and more in demand than ever. Their powerful club shows prove that Harmful left behind a timeless force that still resonates deeply with fans today.
