Pro-Pain Deliver 'Stone Cold Anger' Single

(Atom Splitter) Pro-Pain are releasing their new single "Stone Cold Anger" - the final single taken from their new album Stone Cold Anger. The album's title track shoots ahead with melodic guitars and explodes into captivating vocals-just the right sort of thrilling song for PRO-PAIN and their first album in 11 years.

"Stone Cold Anger" is enthralling and stirring, as if the New York juggernauts had never been gone! Don't miss Stone Cold Anger - out this Friday, May 15 via Napalm Records! Additionally, the band is starting their European tour run today in Essen, Germany.

Gary Meskil about "Stone Cold Anger": "'Stone Cold Anger' gives voice to the raw frustration millions feel right now. People are weary of prolonged conflicts, persistent corruption, and the gradual erosion of the rights they expect their elected officials to protect. The need for accountability is clear, and the question before us remains: If not now, then when?"

The highly-anticipated new album (which features the return of former guitarist Eric Klinger) opens up with the punishing "Oceans Of Blood," an energetic and captivating track which confirms once again that the hardcore icons have not lost one bit of their relentless anger in the last 35 years.

The title track abruptly commences with soaring melodic guitars acting as sirens around front man and bassist Gary Meskil's commanding barks. Aptly named "March Of The Giants" is just that, a show of brute force layered upon an ever-so-heavy groove-laden foundation. "Uncle Sam Wants You!" displays a more rock 'n' roll attitude, complete with a driving bass line and distinct social commentary; the raw and honest vibe continues throughout "Demonic Intervention" and "Rinse & Repeat." Meskil's raspy shouts fill the melodies of "Hell Or High Water" before PRO-PAIN forge onward and into the anthemic "Scorched Earth" - fiercely belting "And so it begins..." The following track, "Jonestown Punch," galvanizes with stirring, up-tempo two-steps before "Sky's The Limit" rounds off the album with catchy sing-along choruses.
