Grain Of Pain returns with their second album, "Behind Us All", dropping through Noble Demon. Coming out of Finland, this doom and death metal machine operates heavily on the vision of Timo Solonen on guitars and growls. Following up "The Moon Lights The Way", the lineup brings serious experience to the table. Lars Eikind handles bass duties alongside melodic singing. Juho Räihä shreds guitars and adds screams. Juuso Raatikainen destroys the drum kit to complete the roster.
"Behind Us All" delivers serious doom metal sorrow. The guitars weave tragic melodies over massive distortion. Every riff drags you down into absolute misery, dripping with pure Finnish darkness. This music demands you bang your head slowly. The tempos stay entrenched in the grave. There is zero rush here. The band simply crushes everything in their path.
The vocal attack completely rules. Solonen delivers deep, massive growls straight from the abyss. Eikind steps up next, delivering majestic singing to break up the extreme vocals. It creates awesome dynamics across the entire playtime. The guest musicians bring serious heat too. Teemu Mastovaara drops killer cello lines on "The House" and "Dance With Me", adding extra grief to the funeral march.
SoundSpiral Audio handled the production, and it sounds absolutely huge. Räihä engineered a powerful, organic assault. The drums crash like falling boulders. The bass rumbles deep in the gut. Even with all the massive distortion, you hear every instrument perfectly. The mixing provides massive headroom for the melodic leads and the devastating rhythm guitars.
Grain Of Pain delivers a very cool doom and death metal assault on "Behind Us All". The songs drag you through cold, northern sorrow and excellent riffs. It warrants turning your speakers way up and letting the misery wash over you. The band provides an extremely heavy trip into darkness.
Score: 7.5
