Primitive Origins, an EP by Prong, features songs like "In My Veins" which was later re-recorded during a session with John Peel (BBC). All songs were written by Tommy Victor and Michael Kirkland. Though many sources list Primitive Origins as an album, Prong themselves have stated on many occasions that this is actually an EP and consider Force Fed their first proper album.^[2][3]
