HARDCORE MY @SS.......2005-04-13

HARDCORE IS NONSENSE, WHAT THIS IS, IS AN ALL TIME CLASSIC BALLS TO THE WALL THRASH METAL MASTERPIECE. METAL ON PRO-PAIN

Good Start.......2004-06-02

I think this is a good start for the band. I don't think they new what direction they were going with this album (some of the songs are a little "rappy" but other songs are real heavy). Well worth a listen, but I wouldn't say it is their best album

Best Hardcore album ever.......2002-02-17

This is the mother of all hardcore albums. It's 13 songs full of pure adrenaline, politically driven lyrics, and raw melodic heaviness. It is my favorite album of all time and will remain it. Every song has it's own enjoyable hook and they're all difficult to get tired of. 'The Stench of Piss', 'Iraqnophobia', 'Pound for Pound', 'Lesson Learned', and 'Johnny Black' are standout tracks representing this albums brutal sound. Pro-Pain defines hardcore and stays true to their style with every album they make. I just had to make a review for this cd to say how great it is, I can't wait for their new album 'Shreds of dignity' to be released on March 19 2002. I havent heard it but I know it will be great!

HARDCORE AT IT'S BEST ! !.......2001-08-02

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A NEW CD TO BUY -THEN THIS IS IT !! FANS OF '' M.O.D '' AND

Brutal.......2003-11-03

Probably the best cover album next to Slayer's Undisputed Attitude. A lot of good stuff here, and I gotta give props to Eric Klinger for picking up some of the vocal duties. Not to sideline Gary, but I'd like to hear more of him on their regular studio albums. 'Weeds' is just killer and 'Iron Fist' smokes. My only beef is with their choice to cover 'South of Heaven.' Yeah, it's good and heavy, but they should have gone with something like 'Antichrist' or 'Die by the Sword.' Regardless, it's an excellent album.

Run For Cover.......2003-08-27

Hardcore legends Pro-Pain have released their 9th studio CD "Run For Cover". The disc is comprised of cover songs from artists who have influenced Pro-Pain throughout their musical careers. Songs from such artists as Discharge, Sepultura, Celtic Frost, Operation Ivy, Slayer and many more are spotlighted here on this 14 song musical onslaught. Admittedly the band is not and never has been a cover band by nature, but the heavy hitting quartet has produced a CD of cover songs that pays homage to the artists who have inspired them most "musically, spiritually and intellectually." This has to be one of the most intense recordings of cover songs that I have heard in years and yet each song maintains the level of integrity that they were originally recorded with. Probably the one song that is the purest to the original is their rendition of the Motorhead classic "Iron Fist". Vocalist Gary Meskil almost sounds identical to Lemmy (Motorhead) on this song and he should be proud of the job he did on this song. This is a great CD from Pro-Pain and I think that fans of the band will be happy with "Run For Cover" overall and it may even appeal to fans of some of the bands that are honored on this recording.

Still kicken A.......2007-05-27

I first discoverd Pro-Pain by accident with their first album Foul Taste of Freedom back in 93. I have been a die hard fan eversince and stayed that way with every change the band has made. While not a house hold name like some other sell out metal bands ( we know who you are) They have kept cranking them out thru the years with out making (as far as I know) a song for radio release. They have stayed tru to form and this album does not dissapoint. I'm 53 years old and I think that they are a great band that deserves more recognition and credit for their contributions to metal music. I have every album and play them all to ragged death. With out a doubt a must have band for your collection. LONG LIVE PRO-PAIN. Have just orderd their 10th release and am waiting on pins and needles for its arrival. NUFF SAID.

Worth your money!.......2001-03-09

Hardcoremetal at it's best! Pro-Pain are heavy as hell and recommended for all selfrespecting metal/hardcore people out there. Maybe this isn't their best album but it's the only one I know. The album opens no holds barreld with "Get real" but gets slower and mid-temp orientated at the end (which isn't a bad thing ). On "Time" Gary sings with a clean voice too, which makes the track more interesting and very depressing. "Life's Hard" is one of the heaviest songs on the album, powerful as hell. "Love /H8" is a punk-like kick in the face. Gary's lyrics touch politics as well as personal problems ("no love lost"). He has one hell of a voice and you can feel all the anger and hate in "my time will come". Again, this album should be on your shelf or better yet, in your player!

Pro-Pain delivers a punch in the head (as per usual)........1998-12-24

Pro-pain's fourth effort is definately worth buying. It seems to me that Pro-Pain are not as famous as they should be,because alot of their songs are downright catchy. Ok,maybe singer/bassist Gary Meskil's voice is not meant for the mainstream,but this is NOT death metal, they do not use profanities in every song and the ones that they do is not every five seconds and there is a reason for it. This disc has 11 songs on it,not all of them are great,but the ones that are make this disc a must buy! "Time","Don't kill yourself to live", "Smokin' Gun","Godsize",and my favorite "Love/H8" are songs to listen over and over again (which I do). The guitar work is fantastic! The tandem of Tom Klimchuk and Rob Mochetti remind me of Glenn Tipton /KK Downing of Judas Priest and Scott Gorham /Brian Robertson of Thin Lizzy. They totally gel like they did on the previous CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE. The lyrics are typical Meskil, no BS,says- it- like- it- is type stuff! Touching on politics,growing up,and disgust for the human race (mainly yuppie types). It is metal,but there is alot of classic rock tempos heard as well , that is just the Pro-pain sound and you really can't classify it.

If this is The Shape Of Things To Come, I'm pumped as f**ck.......2003-09-29

For lack of a better descriptor, it sounds to me like Pro-Pain have dosed up on the super-hardcore-metal-punkrock juice. Sure we got the thrashing-metalcore of yesterday here and there... But "Shreds Of Dignity" finds Gary and the boys leaning away from the thrash-chugging whupass of "Round 6", and bellowing out tighter non-stop hardcore shredders. From the get-go these guys mean business and those intentions carry on from "Gone Fishin" "No Way Out" "Lock N' Load" "Shreds Of Dignity" to "Kill Or Be Killed" My personal fav tracks ... "FOAD", "Down For The Cause" and "24/7"... And you know it's true: If you like Pro-Pain at all, this belongs in your collection. Pick up the covers CD too!!!

Hardcore.......2003-03-08

Veteran NY outfit Pro-Pain is at it again. This time with a relentless noise-fest. Pro-Pain sounds great on this one, all their agressive energy is intact for yet another attack on the world. If you like Biohazard and/or hardcore in general, you'll love this.

Believe it or not..........2006-08-17

Most people make the mistake of assuming that ALL Christian rap is garbage. And I understand why: They Try Too Hard. And everyone knows that when you try to hard, you usually miss your target.

Back to the point...

Enter Mars iLL, emphasis on the "ill". These dudes seriously stay true to the Word and the words. Manchild on the mic and Dust on the wax...maintaining their ties to the underground community.
People argue about the "Greatest Rapper Alive". I definately nominate Manchild. Without a doubt. His words are real, and you get what he's saying. Crossing boundaries like class, Mars iLL is a must for any hip-hop head. Seriously.

great hip-hop.......2006-07-10

Mars iLL is some of the best hip-hop coming out of Atlanta right now. Support your scene and this great band!

best of the best.......2006-06-27

After a LONG, long wait for fans of the Atlanta based, underground sensation Mars Ill's second release, Pro-pain is now on shelf stores. Supposed to have released in 2004, legal trouble kept us in limbo. The final product is well worth the wait. As usual, Mars Ill rips their lives wide open and provide a depth in lyrics very rarely found in any hip-hop, Christian or secular. I appreciate that the lyrics are never Christian fluff, sermons that rhyme, or cruddy metaphors; instead it is raw, real, and unapologetic. Not to mention that the beats are hot. Among others, Pro-Pain includes guest artists Ahmad Jones (4th Ave. Jones) and Cappadonna (Wu Tang Clan). It doesn't matter if you are a hip hop fan or not, this album will blow your mind and your stereo, go pick it up and support these guys!!

absolutely amazing.......2006-06-17

i thought this cd was never going to come out, but boy am i glad it did, this cd is so tight. I is....the best track.

On top of their game.......2005-03-06

These guys just will not go away. They've been around for close to fifteen years and they haven't changed much at all. This album is along the lines of most of their other stuff which is fine by me. They haven't folded to any trend, they've stuck to their guns and still, amazingly, people consider them a "new" (or should I say "nu"?) band. Fistful of Hate makes a case for their best effort yet. The album starts off with the amazing "Can you feel it?". They lay it all out of track one and if that doesn't convinced you nothing will, so go buy the latest Metallica album and keep calling yourself a metalhead. They follow up with 'Left for Dead', another album highlight as well as 'American Dreams', 'Godspeed', 'Lost Horizons', and the instrumental 'The better half of forever'. They prove once again that they're not afrad to experiment and they'll break before they bend. To me, Pro-Pain is among the best in the business. I'm glad to see that among all these trendy, "tune-down-and-scream-about-breaking-up-with-your-girlfriend" bands, there is still one group who aren't afraid to craft pounding riffs, brutal solos, and griding vocals into honest metal.

Loud, Angry, Aggressive! I'll take two!.......2005-02-16

This cd is probably one of the best purchases you'll make this year if you're into this stuff. Although a little repetitive at times (but how many bands aren't somewhat anyway yet still good?!), the sheer volume of highly listenable crushing energy released makes it all worthwhile. I don't how they maintain such a high level either naturally or on dexies or something ;-P, but if you need a good shock to the system and wake up call from this eF'd up Matrix we call Life, this is just the ticket! Left for Dead and The Better Half of Forever just kill!

NYC HARDCORE FIEND.......2005-02-01

ONE WORD SUMS UP THIS CD AMAZING.

A Solid Release.......2004-07-06

I was listening to Xtreme Metal Radio on live365.com and I heard Godspeed and American Dreams. I must admit at first listen I was not sure I was listening to Pro-Pain or not. So I decided to pick up this album. I do agree with one of the other reviewers about those two songs. They do have that "Nu" metal type feel to them. Nevertheless it is a solid release from an often over looked metal band.

PRO-PAIN stays angry -- top notch thrash/speed/core metal.......2004-04-25

Very few bands have released 8 full-lenght albums maintaining the same style and PRO-PAIN can be proud of it. "FISTFUL OF HATE" is their last release and once again, a solid one. Overall, a very good album, not a masterpiece though and i'll tell you why. It starts with "Can you feel it?" and "Left for Dead": the first 2 tracks and clearly my favorites: full of angry, moshy and catchy riffing along with devastating double drumming, and with that classic PRO-PAIN mid-tempo/speed pace that will blow your mind away. Then, "Godspeed" and "American dreams" introduce a new face for the band, with clean vocals on chorus; I personally don't like it. It gives me a sensation of uncertainty for what could happen in the next album. I hope PRO-PAIN doesn't fall into that "nu-new-metal" crap with that "bi-dimensional vocals" non-sense. Gary Meskhil's vocals are like a flag for them and should never be changed. Still, those tracks are not bad, and heavy indeed. "Imploded" delivers blasting double drumming, not a fast song but brutally intense. "Aftermath" and "Freedom Rings" don't stand out as great songs but they do have PRO-PAIN written on them all over the place, like "Cut throat". The instrumental "Better half of forever" is without a doubt one of the stars of the album: energetic and full of breaking rhythm changes; shows their maturity. The last 2 song bring back what the first 2 do: "Lost horizons" and the title track "Fistful of hate" are demolishing: thrash/speed/core metal as its best. In summary, if you are looking for the usual PRO-PAIN sound you will definitely find it. This album is not as consistent as "Contents under pressure" or "Round 6", but still very good and a mandatory piece for true thrashcore listeners. If you don't know the band, they have a unique style and is difficult to tell you what bands are similar, but i would mention Hatebreed, Merauder, Slayer, Pissing Razors, The Haunted, Pantera. Get it.

One of the best hardcore albums of all time.......2001-07-09

Pro-Pain is one of the best metal acts to survive into 2001, and their 1994 album, "The Truth Hurts", is their finest ever. This album is a hardcore masterpiece; a brutal sonic assault from the start of "Make Love Not War" to "Switchblade Knife" at the end. Fans of today's watered down neo-metal bands like Korn and Limp Bizkit will walk away from this album with bleeding ears and confused looks on their faces, but fans of acts like Sepultura and Motorhead will eat it up. Even a baffling duet with Ice-T (in the vein of Body Count, not his rap work) comes off brilliantly. The lyrics involve genocide, anger, murder, dirty politics, and drug rehabilitation. It's not lite listening, folks.

Singer/bassist Gary Meskil's distorted howling and the crushing sound of a wall of guitars have never sounded better than on this album. This is the album to buy if you have any interest in Pro-Pain or ear splitting hardcore.

A surprise hit by an unknown band.......1999-10-13

It must be said that first of all, Pro Pain does not pocess all that much musical talent; however they sure have produced an awsome album here. In fact it is my favortite metal album I have ever listened to. Give it a chance. Buy it. Listen to to it once then again and you will understand what I am talking about.

Pro Pain Never changes, but who cares.......2005-04-24

Honestly, seeing the artwork on this album kind of made me a little unhopeful by this album, but all I can say is that PRO PAIN F*cking destroys anything on the radio to this very day. yes the are semi Generic, but so is all the garbage that filters around on the radio mtv, vh1, Pro Pain I think is WAY under rated. Buy this F*cking album.

the most solid metal band of the 90's.......2004-03-03

i've being listening to metal since i was 15 years old, back in 1986 and i can assure you that Pro-Pain is a top ten of all-time. Particularly if you are inclined to thrash/speed of late 80's and also like the Pantera era of the early 90's, this album is a mandatory piece for you. Although maintaining their style closely attached to hardcore roots, Pro-Pain makes the difference by consistently delivering a well-rounded, perfectly executed, full of anger thrash/speed/core metal that does not fall in the disturbing "alt-nu-metal" phenomenom. This is non-stop boisterous but technical riffs. Check out "Desentisize": mosh without boundaries. Buy this CD. No question.

Fan since day 1.......2001-03-12

I have followed Pro-Pain since they came out with Foul taste of freedom in '92, I had even seen them live that year, I was 15 and that was my first live show I had been to, so I basically grew up on Pro pain among other bands. Foul taste of freedom is one of my favorite albums ever and I am thankful these guys have kept making albums ever since then. Round 6 is heavy beyond description and I must say it is my 2nd favorite Pro Pain album next to Foul taste of freedom. I feel like stomping somebody into the concrete when I listen to the blistering song, "Down in Flames", and I feel like dancing all over somebody's battered face to the speed of the lightning quick "Fed up", which are 2 of the highlights of this album in my opinion. All in all, I can listen to this album in its entirety over and over again with a nice, big, violent smile on my good lookin' mug.

One of the best speed-metal bands........2000-12-22

Having known of the band Pro-Pain for some time, I'm glad to see they haven't changed their tune. No rapping, no videos on MTV, barely any press, yet they still rule. Their music makes Metallica look like a Hanson brothers side band, and has the same velocity as older Sepultura and Machine Head. (Definitely has that good ole' Bay Area mosh pit sound, eventhough PP is actually NY-based.)

Metal as it's meant to be played. Definitely recommended! Get this CD!
