On September 25th, Long Island hardcore band PAIN OF TRUTH will release their their sophomore album, PAIN OF TRUTH, through DAZE.

Having already shared the massive lead single “UNFORGIVEN,” today Pain Of Truth unleash full out fury with new single “STRANDED.” The ruthless track boasts rapid rhythms, stomping breakdowns and assertive vocals delivering lines about being divided and conquered.

Pain Of Truth just announced a North American headline tour starting in Montreal, QC on October 14th and ending in Brooklyn, NY on November 21st at Brooklyn Steel with a special no barricade show.

Since forming in 2020, Pain Of Truth have had an immense six years – releasing an EP, two splits, and a full-length, and touring across the globe. With their upcoming self-titled album, the band has amplified their sound to new heights. 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. The lyrics build from a place of resistance, struggle, and drive, attacking the unjust divisions in the world and fighting for a better reality.
