PRO-PAIN Ignite Fury With “Oceans Of Blood” Ahead Of Stone Cold Anger

Hardcore metal veterans PRO-PAIN return with “Oceans Of Blood,” the first single and official video taken from their upcoming album Stone Cold Anger, set for release on May 15th, 2026 via Napalm Records. Known for their uncompromising blend of groove-driven heaviness and socially charged themes, the band once again channel global unrest into a track that hits with both sonic force and lyrical conviction.

Musically, “Oceans Of Blood” delivers the crushing, no-frills aggression that has defined PRO-PAIN for decades. Thick, mid-tempo riffs grind against pounding rhythms, creating a foundation built for impact rather than flash. The song’s direct structure mirrors its message — blunt, forceful, and impossible to ignore. There is a sense of controlled rage throughout, reinforcing the band’s reputation for turning frustration into focused heaviness.

Frontman Gary Meskil explains the track’s thematic weight: “A common thread runs through the lion’s share of lyrics found in Stone Cold Anger. Much of it has to do with retribution, and our first single, ‘Oceans Of Blood’, is representative of that. The frustration among people worldwide regarding the rampant corruption and criminality of their governments has reached a breaking point. Wars are being waged in their names without any consent, funded by their own hard-earned tax dollars. With rising living costs and inflation eroding the value of money, tensions are rising. When those in power evade accountability for their actions, it leaves the populace with little choice but to assert their rights and take back control.”

With “Oceans Of Blood,” PRO-PAIN reaffirm their role as a voice of defiance within heavy music. As Stone Cold Anger approaches, the message is clear — the fire still burns, and it burns with purpose.
