PAIN OF TRUTH

About this event

Music / Alternative / Alternative Metal. Starts 6:30 PM. PAIN OF TRUTH is more than just a band name, it's a mantra for the Long Island, NY based hardcore band and their fans. Since 2020, Pain of Truth has been a driving force of the genre, blending old school sounds with new school swagger. The band signed to DAZE and came crushing out the gate with their 2020 No Blame...Just Facts EP and 2023 full-length Not Through Blood, both boasting an impressive list of guest features from bands including Terror, Madball, Trapped Under Ice and King Nine. Following the release of 2025's Coast to Coast split with Sunami, Pain Of Truth entered the studio with GRAMMY winning producer Will Putney (Body Count, Incendiary, Counterparts) in early 2026 to craft their sophomore album, fittingly self-titled. When Pain Of Truth drops on DAZE in September 2026, expect to hear the band's sound amplified tenfold. Michael Smith's vocals reach new heights of aggression and charisma, echoed back by gang vocals on every track. Riffs move from dirty grooves to electrifying and the drums provide a pulsating rhythmic backbone made to intensify every mosh part. The record is the band's first truly collaborative release and first bout of longer material with absolutely zero guest features. It's a testament to Pain Of Truth doing things 100% their way and moving from a , "rdquo" -> me vs. you" mentality to , "rdquo" -> us vs. them." The lyrics build from a place of resistance, struggle, and drive, attacking the unjust divisions in the world and fighting for a better reality. As the album covers weighty topics, the real heft comes in the songs being experienced in a live setting. At every show you can expect Smith and co directing fans to pile on in the front, jump off the stage, and position a chaotic pit behind it, ailing the "horseshoe effect" that plagues other acts. Their high energy shows have deemed Pain Of Truth a must see live band, and earned them spots touring alongside Knocked Loose, A Day
