About
Pro-Pain is a New York City hardcore/groove metal band founded in 1991 by vocalist and bassist Gary Meskil and drummer Dan Richardson, both veterans of Crumbsuckers. The group built its reputation on a raw blend of hardcore punk aggression and heavy groove metal, releasing sixteen studio albums over a 35-year career - the latest, Stone Cold Anger (Napalm Records, 2026), their first in eleven years. Europe has long been their second home, with annual touring across Germany, Austria, and beyond keeping them a fixture on the continent's heavy music circuit.
