PRO-PAIN have returned with the music video for "March of the Giants," the lead single from Stone Cold Anger, their sixteenth studio album and their first new material in eleven years. The album is set for release on May 15, 2026, through Napalm Records — the band's first signing to the Austrian label.
The video, filmed on location in Belgium, captures the band in their element: raw, punishing grooves anchored by frontman Gary Meskil's trademark gravelly roar. "March of the Giants" hits with the same blue-collar aggression that defined classics like Contents Under Pressure and Round 6 — no frills, no experimentation, just the direct, street-level metal that built PRO-PAIN's reputation across the 1990s and 2000s.
Stone Cold Anger also sees the return of former guitarist Eric Klinger, who previously appeared on the 2014 album Excessive Force. Meskil described the album as "the most honest record we've made in a long time," noting that the extended break allowed the band to recharge and approach the recording without external pressures.
PRO-PAIN formed in New York in 1991 and have quietly maintained one of the most consistent catalogs in aggressive metal, releasing sixteen albums with minimal lineup turbulence. Their influence on metalcore and groove metal remains significant, and the return to Napalm Records puts them in front of a refreshed audience.
