PRO-PAIN “Best Of II” /CD/

The 15-song CD draws on Pro-Pain's first three albums: 1992's “Foul Taste of Freedom”, 1994's “The Truth Hurts” and 1996's “Contents Under Pressure”, all of which went for an unapologetically brutal style of heavy metal/thrash/alternative rock. The recognizable New York band chose to call its musical assault "HARDCORE" rather than Metal, but while gems like "Switchblade Knife" "The Truth Hurts" and "Denial" (which features rap innovator Ice-T) are greatly influenced by punk, Pro-Pain is very much a metal band.
Produced by Alex Perialas (Testament, Overkill, S.O.D., M.O.D., Nuclear Assault, Holy Moses, Blessed Death, Wratchild America).
This is one CD that will never be mistaken for easy listening. Re-edition includes two bonus-tracks!

First American re-release of 2001’live album from one of the most intense hardcore-metal bands of the '90s.
The 17-track album includes highlights from throughout Pro-Pain's career, including such scream-til-the-veins-on-your-neck-explode anthems as "Foul Taste of Freedom," "Iraqnophobia," "Stand Tall," and a song that Celine Dion should really consider covering someday, "The Stench of Piss." It may have taken a long time to rear its head, but “Road Rage” lives up to the explosive live shows Pro-Pain have put on for years.
All tracks recorded live in Tampa, Florida during “Act of God Tour”.
