Pro-Pain Premiere “Scorched Earth” Lyric Video Ahead Of First Album In 11 Years

Veteran crossover outfit Pro-Pain have released a new lyric video for their latest single “Scorched Earth,” offering another preview of their upcoming studio album ‘Stone Cold Anger’.

The track arrives just over a month ahead of the band’s first full-length release in 11 years, with the record also marking their 16th overall. The album is set to drop May 15th via Napalm Records.

Frontman Gary Meskil shared insight into the song’s themes, explaining:

“‘Scorched Earth’ explores what happens when ordinary people are pushed to their breaking point. Drawing inspiration from films such as the 1990s Michael Douglas drama ‘Falling Down’, the lyrics examine how pressure, frustration, and a sense of powerlessness can build over time. The song speaks to themes of reckoning, consequence, and the desire for genuine accountability.”

With ‘Stone Cold Anger’ on the horizon, Pro-Pain are also preparing for a major European touring campaign throughout 2026 and into early 2027.
