Pronkus is an anti social media one-man hardcore punk band (infused with old school death metal grooves) from the island of Borneo that’s now evolving in Ankara, Turkiye. The band derives from the name Pawnkus in District 9. Drawing inspiration from; to name a few, bands such as Aus Rotten, SHI, Tsol, Obituary, Napalm Death and Bolt Thrower. Elements of 90s electronica and breakbeats are also present in both releases.
The band has released two EPs in 2023 with materials written and kept in dust for more than five years. The releases were supported with vocals and additional lyrics by Adam Schnellenbach from Frog Myst and Accursed Womb in the US and Mia Priest of Nightmare AD in Cambodia.
Pronkus is currently in the writing process to release another EP before the end of 2024.
