Finnish doom/death metal band Grain Of Pain have announced the release of their sophomore full-length, Behind Us All, out on 27 March via Noble Demon. To mark the occasion and offer a first glimpse into the record's bleak yet emotionally resonant soundscape, the band today served the album's first video single, "To Burn Inside".
"To Burn Inside" sees Grain Of Pain leaning deep into their signature blend of doom-laden heaviness and powerful melodies. Featuring a striking guest solo by Pekka Olkkonen (Stam1na), the song explores themes of reflection and the clarity that often comes with age.
Mastermind Timo Solonen comments: "So many stones, so many hopes. We are very happy to have Pekka Olkkonen to feature on our first single and to play solo on our song. Song is about life choices we made to earlier in life to chase dreams which weren't worth it in the end. When you grow older you will find what is most important in life and the struggle to leave old life behind is not always easy. But you can do it as it becomes clear in the end of the song".
Grain Of Pain delivers a powerful and emotionally charged take on doom/death metal. At the core of the band is Timo Solonen, who handles composition, growls and guitars. On bass and clean vocals is Lars Eikind (Before The Dawn), standing out with a prestigious Spellemannsprisen (Grammy) win in Norway. Joining as session musicians are Juho Räihä (guitars, additional screams) and Juuso Raatikainen (drums), both of whom claimed a Finnish Grammy with Swallow The Sun in 2025. Drawing from a wide range of influences, Grain Of Pain weaves dark atmospheres and powerful melodies into music that resonates long after the final note fades.
Following the signing with German metal specialist Noble Demon in April 2024 for their debut release, The Moon Lights The Way, Grain Of Pain now raises the stakes with Behind Us All. The album was produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Juho Räihä at SoundSpiral Audio; Gogo Melone created the cover artwork. Link
