LIHC ass-beaters Pain of Truth have announced a self-titled new album. It’s their sophomore LP, the follow-up to 2023’s fantastic Not Through Blood, and due out on September 25 via Daze. We have an exclusive sea blue smoke vinyl variant, limited to 150 copies and available for pre-order in the BV shop.
Pain of Truth was produced by Will Putney, and they’ve shared the lead single, “Unforgiven.” Vocalist Michael Brian Smith says, “I wrote this track to give a sense of hope in horrible times. Using your energy to make a move and turning it into a win.” Watch the video, shot and produced by Luis Hernandez and Tyler Bradberry, below.
Pain of Truth have festival dates lined up throughout the summer and fall, along with a few CA headlining shows ahead of their Warped Tour set in Long Beach this month. See all dates below.
