Watch out, all you Pro-Pain fans out there, it's official at last: the American hardcore metal legends are set to release their new studio album The Final Revolution on November 25th, 2013 (Germany: November 22nd, 2013; US/Canada: December 3rd, 2013). According to vocalist/bassist Gary Meskil, Pro-Pain's 14th studio recording marks the band's return to their old form: "The music is quite dark, and the groove and tempos are very reminiscent of the classic Pro-Pain style as opposed to our last album Straight To The Dome, which was a bit more thrashy."

The Final Revolution was recorded, mixed, and mastered by V.O. Pulver (Gurd) at Little Creek Studio in Gelterkinden, Switzerland from August 18th to August 29th, 2013. Meskil wrote all of the music and lyrics at his home in Sarasota, Florida: "In order to keep things interesting, I decided to take the reins and handle all of the writing duties alone this time. It's the first Pro-Pain album since the 90s in which I've written everything."

The standard release will feature twelve brand-new tracks. There will be other configurations available as well, in the form of a Digipak and gatefold album. Those configurations will contain some bonus material (including live tracks plus a UK Subs cover), foldout poster, etc. Meskil adds: "I'm sure the fans will love it!"

There are also tour plans in the pipeline: Pro-Pain will play some Florida shows in October, which will be their first US gigs in more than four years! The band also has a European tour scheduled which will run from November 29th until December 21st, with Zuul FX (FR), KomaH (BE), and Soulline (CH) supporting.Meskil: "We hope everyone will enjoy our new album as much as we do! See you on tour!"
