This is the latest EP from PAINS, the 3-piece crushing metal trio has been touring and releasing music from their roots in the northern Illinois, southern Wisconsin region over the last few years, spreading the gospel of pulverizing drums, chainsaw laden guitar riffs and bludgeoning bass tones all across the U.S.

Combining elements of death metal, grind, hardcore, sludge and ambient, Pains strives to achieve both an epic and powerful tone to their music but also their lyrics and thematic statements. From challenging the scope of global empire to exploring the inner turmoils of one's self, Pains has a clear and precise mission statement; to capture the ravenous hearts and minds of those who seek PURE SONIC TERROR.

Vinyl, cassettes, and CDs include two bonus tracks, "Smoldering Willows" and "The Suffering Is the Point" previously only released digitally.
