Power of The Damn MiXXXer, a brutally orchestrated remix album of Power of The Damager, hits the streets May 12th and guaranteed to kick your ass again -only harder. In this ever darkening New World Order, Prong is a refreshingly feral fist----- in an era of mediocrity. Artists ranging from Rob Caggiano (ANTHRAX), Virus (DOPE), DJ? Acucrack, to Professional Murder Music pay homage to Tommy Victor with their balls-to-the-wall treatment of Prong's Damager material. For artists such as Virus and PMM's Brian Harrah, Victor is a true pioneer and tastemaker that never bent or broke to label pressure or poseurs striving for fame.

A monster of epic proportions, it's seven tracks clock in at a total of 54 minutes. The shortest number (also the album's namesake) stays under two minutes, while it's longest reaches 11 minutes. Less tracks then they are portions, they are better described as subsections to one massive piece. After just one listen, it's clear that Radiant is the sum of years of experimentation, varying influences and the organic infusion of their multiple personalities (band members are featured in a slew of successful side-projects).

In preparation for the upcoming festivities, the user-generated website Rock Immortal has been launched to give rock enthusiasts a closer look at the 2009 inductees, as well as the opportunity to post your own fan messages, photos and videos for the inductees and other fans to view.
