Straight from the depths of the hardcore we witness the rebirth of violence in its purest essence, 100% hard, 100% bloodthirsty, 100% aggressive, this is “Straight to the Dome”, the newest Pro-Pain release, the pioneers of hardcore metal give us a powerful album with 11 tracks of pain, death, war, hatred, blood, that make us want to kick the shit out of everything.
Throughout their existence they did not stuck in simple hardcore references, their passion and talent made them a melodic hardcore metal band with much to show. Pro-pain are still impressing metal fans everywhere, “Straight to the Dome”, their 13th album is a hardcore piece of art with shattering solos and complex guitar lines in songs like “bitter pill” and “nothing left”, and at the same time a melodic experience, almost out of the range of the hardcore without losing its brutality, that sound can be heard in “A Good Day to Die” and “Zugabe!”.
Absolutely a great album that should be heard by every metalheads with frustrations to be released or simply that loves music loud as fuck. A great work with old school flavor and new diversity given by the years of experimentation of the band, the perfect balance between melodic and hardcore. Pro-Pain are without a doubt skilful masters of hardcore with much yet to explore and to give to metal community.

Goomba Music recently announced the signing with PRO-PAIN. The label will release the band's new album, Straight To The Dome, the European release date is September 9th on CD, Special Edition CD (w/ bonus tracks) and Limited Edition Vinyl via Sunny Bastards!
North American release is September 25th via Goomba Music / eOne Music!
Band front man Gary Meskil states, "We intended to make an old school Pro-Pain album with this one, and I think that this is perhaps our most sonically brutal effort since The Truth Hurts. Having said that, the album does have a few tasteful melodic moments here and there, which in my opinion contribute to its depth and diversity."
The new album was recorded at Little Creek Studio in Gelterkinden, Switzerland and produced by V.O. Pulver.
PRO-PAIN Lead Guitarist Adam Phillips adds: "V.O. is a fantastic producer/engineer, and he knew exactly how to capture the vibe of this band and these songs."
