-Pro-Pain-

Intense, uncompromising, driven, spirited, relentless, honest, unique, bulletproof. Those are some of the words that have been used to describe New York hard music veterans PRO-PAIN. Since their crushing 1992 NAIRD nominated debut album "Foul Taste Of Freedom", PRO-PAIN have become a staple in the diets of heavy music listeners around the globe and have earned themselves a reputation as being one of the hardest working units in the business. "We come from the school of hard knocks, and have had to work real hard to earn our keep" adds frontman / founder Gary Meskil. To date, PRO-PAIN have recorded and released 9 studio albums, played over 2000 gigs (spanning the course of over a decade), and have reached a level of accomplishment that far surpasses most bands in their genre. With album sales of over 600,000 worldwide, PRO-PAIN are considered by many to be one of extreme music's main components.

PRO-PAIN's latest studio album FISTFUL OF HATE is arguably their best to date, and contains 12 blistering tracks which encompass a level of energy and power that few others possess. Standout cuts like "Can You Feel It?" and "Godspeed" give listeners a healthy dose of force fed adrenaline, while "American Dreams" and "The Better Half Of Forever" showcase the band's true versatility and talent. The lyrical content finds PRO-PAIN developing even further. Though philosophies have expanded, their passion for directing attention to societies ills remains. The album's production was a self-contained project - an aspect of PRO-PAIN that has kept their fans loyal while impressing new listeners. "There has never been a deception between the band and our fans, and it's important to us to make sure everything is honest and on the level “ reveals Meskil. “It's a big part of what PRO-PAIN is all about.". So, if you’re a fan of hard edged music or just a glutton for punishment, check out FISTFUL OF HATE. You won’t be disappointed!
