Working with GRAMMY winning producer Will Putney (Body Count, Incendiary, Counterparts), Pain Of Truth’s sound has been amplified tenfold across the eleven track album. The band blends old school style with new school swagger, as lyrics build from a place of resistance, struggle, and drive. Expect aggressive vocals backed by unified shouts, riffs that move from dirty grooves to electrifying, and drums that provide a pulsating rhythmic backbone made to intensify every mosh part.
Lead single “UNFORGIVEN,” out today, puts Pain Of Truth’s relentless spirit on full display. The track hits with direct fury, building into wailing guitars and vocals before cracking into a commanding breakdown. It comes alongside a shattering performance based video, shot and produced by Luis Hernandez and Tyler Bradberry.
Speaking on the track, Pain Of Truth vocalist Michael Brian Smith shares:
“I wrote this track to give a sense of hope in horrible times. Using your energy to make a move and turning it into a win.”
Starting today, Pain Of Truth arrives in California for three headline shows and a performance at Vans Warped Tour. The band has more festivals on the horizon this fall including Bloodaxe Festival in Tokyo, Furnace Fest, Sick New World, Flyover Fest, and Vans Warped Tour Orlando.
