Announce sophomore album set for release September 25th on DAZE. California headline tour and Vans Warped Tour this week.

Since forming in 2020, Long Island hardcore band have had an immense six years – releasing an EP, two splits, and a full-length, and touring across the globe. The band announces their sophomore album, ‘S/t’, set for release on September 25th through DAZE. Working with GRAMMY winning producer Will Putney (Body Count, Incendiary, Counterparts), Pain Of Truth’s sound has been amplified tenfold across the eleven track album. The band blends old school style with new school swagger, as lyrics build from a place of resistance, struggle, and drive. 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. Lead single out now, puts band’s relentless spirit on full display. The track hits with direct fury, building into wailing guitars and vocals before cracking into a commanding breakdown. It comes alongside a shattering performance based video, shot and produced by Luis Hernandez and Tyler Bradberry. Speaking on the track, vocalist Michael Brian Smith shares:

“I wrote this track to give a sense of hope in horrible times. Using your energy to make a move and turning it into a win.”

Pain Of Truth arrives in California for two headline shows and a performance at Warped Tour. The band has more festivals on the horizon this fall including Bloodaxe Festival in Tokyo, Furnace Fest, Sick New World, Flyover Fest, and Warped Tour Orlando. See a full list of upcoming shows below.
