Metal, Hardcore, Indie, Rock
Napalm Records has signed groove metal/hardcore band Pro-Pain, as per theprp. “Stone Cold Anger,” their 16th studio album to date, will be released on May 15. This comeback LP, their first in eleven years, is being set up by the song “Oceans Of Blood.”
A common thread runs through the lion’s share of lyrics found in ‘Stone Cold Anger‘. Much of it has to do with retribution, and our first single, ‘Oceans Of Blood’, is representative of that. The frustration among people worldwide regarding the rampant corruption and criminality of their governments has reached a breaking point. Wars are being waged in their names, without any consent, funded by their own hard-earned tax dollars.
With rising living costs and inflation eroding the value of money, tensions are rising. We’ve already seen this reach a critical level in countries like Sri Lanka, France, and more recently, Nepal, where desperate citizens have taken drastic actions against corrupt politicians, even resorting to violence and destruction of property. When those in power evade accountability for their actions, it leaves the populace with little choice but to assert their rights and take back control. – Gary Meskil
Thank you to our fans worldwide for 35 years of unwavering support. After a decade away from the recording studio, we return with ‘Stone Cold Anger‘—an album forged from global tension and the rising demand for accountability. Our first single, ‘Oceans of Blood,’ captures the outrage felt as corruption, injustice, and economic pressure push people to their limits.

Tracklist:
Following the release of their debut album, “Foul Taste of Freedom”, in 1992, which featured elements of rap metal and hardcore punk, the band signed with Roadrunner Records, who reissued the album the following year. “The Truth Hurts”, their second album, was first prohibited because of the artwork on the sleeves, which showed a woman who had been sutured up following an autopsy.
