Get ready for a musical comeback that will ignite your senses! PRO-PAIN, the iconic New York hardcore band, is back with a bang after an 11-year hiatus!
In a thrilling announcement, PRO-PAIN reveals their new album, 'Stone Cold Anger', set to drop on May 15, 2026. This release marks a significant milestone, not just for the band but for hardcore enthusiasts worldwide.
But here's where it gets controversial...
'Stone Cold Anger' is an explosive collection of ten tracks, showcasing the band's raw energy and unyielding spirit. With catchy melodies and stirring guitar riffs, the album delivers a powerful message that resonates deeply with fans.
The lead single, 'Oceans Of Blood', sets the tone for the album's intense journey. It's a groovy, energetic track that highlights the band's unwavering anger and passion. PRO-PAIN's signature sound, a blend of heavy riffs and anthemic vocals, is on full display here.
Bassist and vocalist Gary Meskil shares his thoughts on the album's theme: "'Stone Cold Anger' explores the global frustration towards rampant corruption and criminality. We've seen people rise up in countries like Sri Lanka, France, and Nepal, demanding change. The title track, 'Oceans Of Blood', captures this sentiment perfectly."
The album opens with the punishing 'Oceans Of Blood', followed by the aptly named 'March Of The Giants', a brute force of a song. 'Uncle Sam Wants You!' brings a rock 'n' roll attitude, while 'Demonic Intervention' and 'Rinse & Repeat' maintain the raw and honest vibe.
And this is the part most people miss...
'Stone Cold Anger' also marks the return of former guitarist Eric Klinger, adding a unique dynamic to the band's sound. With his presence, the album takes on a new dimension, showcasing the band's evolution while staying true to their roots.
Meskil further elaborates: "'Stone Cold Anger' is our response to the global tension and the demand for accountability. It's been a decade since our last studio album, and we're thrilled to be back with a powerful statement. Our fans have been incredibly supportive, and this album is a testament to their unwavering loyalty."
