Legendary New York hardcore juggernauts PRO-PAIN make their debut on Napalm Records with their sixteenth studio album, Stone Cold Anger, out on May 15, 2026. Their first release in eleven years showcases the band’s explosive energy in its purest form: Stone Cold Anger unfolds heavy, angry, and ready as ever—proving PRO-PAIN haven’t lost even an ounce of strength. An exceptionally catchy offering, the new album fortifies its groovy melodies and stirring guitar riffs with furious and inciting, anthemic vocals, turning the ten new songs into worthy follow-ups to their 3.5M-stream hit “Voice Of Rebellion†(2015). The long-awaited album (which features the return of former guitarist Eric Klinger) opens up with the punishing “Oceans Of Bloodâ€, an energetic and captivating track which confirms once again that the scene luminaries have not lost a step in their 35-year campaign of carnage. The title track abruptly commences with soaring melodic guitars acting as sirens around frontman 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 & Repeatâ€. Meskil’s raspy shouts fill the melodies of “Hell Or High Water†before PRO-PAIN forge onward and into the anthemic “Scorched Earthâ€â€”fiercely belting “And so it begins…†The following track, “Jonestown Punchâ€, galvanizes with stirring, up-tempo two-steps before “Sky’s The Limit†rounds off the album with catchy sing-along choruses. Stone Cold Anger is an enthralling, memorable, and triumphant milestone for PRO-PAIN, an impressive demonstration of power. See you in the pit! LIMITED EDITION.
