“This band connected — not because they broke hardcore rules but because they upheld those rules with rigid, fervent intensity. If you don’t like most hardcore, then you won’t like Pain Of Truth. But if you love hardcore, then this band might speak to something deep inside of you.”

– Stereogum (Album of the Week)

“Pain of Truth are the type of hardcore band where fans should expect bloodshed (the fun kind) at every show. The NYHC crew write mosh music, plain and simple.” – Revolver

“The listening experience feels less like an album and more like a sold-out hardcore gig performed for an audience of one. Truly, a mosher’s delight.” – Bandcamp Daily

“Meaty guitars, pummeling percussion and a visceral, vocal ‘fuck-you’ properly introduce the album.” – Knotfest

“Not Through Blood may speak with many voices, but the statement is one of focused violence.” – Distorted Sound

Pain Of Truth have quickly become one of the most exciting true hardcore bands to emerge in the twenty-twenties, known for their intense live shows and hard-hitting lyrics. Today, the Long Island band release Not Through Blood, the debut full-length out now on DAZE. Not Through Blood finds the band sounding sharper and meaner then ever, as massive hooks meet pit ready riffs. The album features whopping thirteen guest features, making this a community affair. Scott Vogel of Terror, Justice Tripp of Trapped Under Ice, Vinnie Caruana of The Movielife, Jay Peta of Mindforce, and Brendan Garrone of Incendiary are just the tip of the iceberg to who listeners will find lending their voice to the album. Not Through Blood was recorded and mixed by Andy Nelson at Bricktop Studio in Chicago, IL and mastered by Bill Henderson at Azimuth Recordings. Not Through Blood is available for purchase now through DAZE and Bandcamp, and can be streamed HERE.
