Long Island, NY hardcore group Pain Of Truth quickly built a reputation surrounding their raw, real, and hard approach to sound, as well as for their intense live shows and hard-hitting lyrics. After delivering their debut EP in 2020, No Blame…Just Facts, and a 2021 split with Age Of Apocalypse, Pain Of Truth has announced their debut full-length album, Not Through Blood, set to release on September 8 via Daze Records. Not Through Blood finds the band sounding sharper and meaner than ever.
Always making things a community affair, POT’s No Blame…Just Facts included six guest vocal contributions, but on Not Through Blood, there’s a whopping 13 guests featured. Freddy Cricien of Madball, Scott Vogel of Terror, Justice Tripp of Trapped Under Ice, Vinnie Caruana of The Movielife, Jay Peta of Mindforce, and Brendan Garrone of Incendiary, are just the tip of the iceberg to who listeners will find lending their voice to the album.
The first taste of new music comes by way of single, “Actin’ Up,” which features the heavy growls of 200 Stab Wounds vocalist, Steve Buhl (shared below).
