A brand spanking new seasonal slice of mayhem. We call this one "Christmas in Valhalla".



Prion Son - Christmas in Valhalla by PolarityMan

We now have a brand spanking new gallery section added to the site!

Proceedings are kick-started with this fine gallery of photo's shot by good friend Marc from a joiners gig last year.

Stay tuned as we add more galleries!

We're very pleased to be able to announce the Prion Son will be opening day 2 of the "Rock the Park" festival on Sunday 24th July. The event takes place at Queen Elizabeth Country Park and you can obtain tickets direct from the rock the park website. Advance tickets are available at a discount price of £30 for the weekend or £20 for a day for a limited time only. The festival is in aid of the charity Help for Heroes which is a charity to raise money to provide care for UK service men and women wounded in duty. As well as Prion Son you will be able to see performances by the following excellent local bands: Crosstown, Sanctions, StoneThemCrows, GoodDevilSKins, Doctrine of Complicity, From Ruin, St Johns Wood Affair, Epouranios, Nonpology, Emerald, FreeReason, Drop out Luke, Rockin' Colin, Loosetongue, Lost MOrals, and Porter. We will be marking this special event by playing new prog epic "A Season of Ashes" for the very first time. TV and Radio will be in attendance so we'd really appreciate all your support in what we see as an excellent opportunity for some wider exposure for our music! Hope to see some of you there!

We've had another reshuffle with the Royal Oak gig on 16th April being moved to Sat 21st May.

The good news is that gave us the opportunity to add a gig at the Queen's head in Winchester on 15th April.

As if that wasn't enough for you we're finalising some news about a festival gig in July and a rally in May so you should have plenty to look forwards to in the coming months!

....and must be punished!

As promised, our second Southampton show in March and our first for long standing promoter Jurassic Mark. As you can see he has kindly made us this awesome poster which gets you 50p off entry!

As promised confirming the first of hopefully 2 Southampton shows this month.

See you there!

Apparently the promoters in Basingstoke booked too many bands so we've moved our slot to 20th april. Hope to see all you amazingstoke kids there!

We have 2 southampton shows tentatively booked for 9th and 16th March, look out on the upcoming gigs page for more details.

We had a preproduction recording test for the new album at Factory Road last night with very encouraging results. We'll be aiming to go in to start tracking for the real thing sometime in March. In the meantime here's a photo of drum maniac Tim doing his thing!

You can now find details of the first tranch of new shows booked for the upcoming few months. Check back soon for more dates as they're confirmed. We hope to see some of you out on the road. We have a few new songs to unveil for you in return.

The debut EP 'Snowfall' is now available to order online. Check it out in the shop which can be selected from the Navigation Menu on the left!

It's been a while since we've added some new content to PrionSon.com so I've added a gigs page where you can check out all our upcoming and previous gigs as well as updating the media player with 3 tracks from the EP, the acoustic version of "Deleted Scenes Pt I" and as a very special treat the pre-demo version of "As She Withers".

We've got another gig booked at the joiners on Fri 10th. If all goes well we'd like to unveil a new 90s grunge inspired track called "As she Withers".

We've had some great feedback from those of you who have heard the scratch track so hope you'll enjoy it. Think Alice in Chains meets A Perfect Circle in Soundgardens garden shed.

For those that haven't heard already we'll be playing a mammoth 2.5 hour set at the firehouse in Southampton. Entry is free and we'll be playing our original material and a selection of covers by the most inspiring rock and metal bands ever to have walked the earth.

See you there!

Prion Son will be returning to the railway with Ragnarok on Aug 4th. This'll be the first outing for a while and we hope to have some new material to display including the new full band arrangement of "Tendency of a System" which we previously showcased at the Acoustic Sports Relief show.

Foreshadowing the traditional Celtic month of Mí Bhealtaine, Prion Son will be purifying the senses, dispatching the winter and welcoming summer by playing a Southampton Show.

Full details will follow shortly but for now set your stone circles to the evening of Sunday 2nd May.

We may even be slippinng some kind of new song into the set.

New Prion Son song named "Foreshadows", if it's ready we may debut it at the EP launch along with "Tiny Stitches" which was only publically aired in London and at the private parties we played recently for The Pirates.

So hopefully we'll have 2 new songs for you all at the next gig.

The new EP has a launch date set for 19th February at The Joiners in Southampton.
The EP will feature the following track listing:
Making Monsters
Brittle Boned
The (IV) Millenia
Eva
Deleted Scenes (Part I)
Cover artwork will be available in 2 alternate versions.

Due to adverse weather the venue has cancelled tonight's gig in Winchester. We have a possible rescheduling for Sunday, will keep you posted on that.

Who would have thought that rock could be stopped by adverse weather?

2 New gigs added, one is a return to the Railway where we last played in the battle of the bands, being sadly pipped to the post by the rather excellent Saqquara. This time we're supporting South East regulars Prozium.

Secondly we've been kindly asked back to play another show for Southamtpon HA chapter The Pirates. No guests allowed for this one but we're totally psyched at getting a chance to get our music out to a whole new audience.

Today we have been in the studio recording the vocals for the demo we started back in June.

The guitar and bass has taken a while but its finally finished and we're hoping to complete the mixing stage tomorrow.
Stay tuned for more studio news!

Welcome to the all new Prion Son website. As you can see so far it is quite bare but be sure to check back often as we add more content and more features. We'll be doing everything we can to give you as much quality music, videos, art work and news from the band as we can.

Right now we hope that you at least like this better than being able to see the directory listing of our home directory on the web server! O_o
