History

Their debut album Foul Taste of Freedom was released in 1992, displaying hardcore punk and rap metal influences,[5] after which the band was signed to Roadrunner Records, who reissued the album the following year.[4][6] Their second album The Truth Hurts was initially banned due to the sleeve artwork, featuring a picture of a stitched-up woman after an autopsy.[4][6]

The band has released several more albums with a varying line-up over the years, with Meskil being the only constant member. The self-produced album Act of God saw the band signed to Nuclear Blast Records after they had relocated to Sarasota, Florida. The same label released Round 6 in 2000 and the live album Road Rage in 2001.[7] In 2004, they released their first album for Candlelight Records, Fistful of Hate. Tom Klimchuck left the band in 2011 due to "unexpected circumstances regarding some potentially serious health issues."^{[citation needed]} He had since been replaced by Adam Phillips of Indorphine, who stayed until 2019 when current guitarist Greg Discenza replaced him. On 3 July 2017, Gary Meskil was the victim of a robbery and attempted murder in Belgium while on tour with Pro-Pain in support of their 2015 album Voice of Rebellion.[8] Pro-Pain remains active as of 2022, and they are currently working on their follow-up to Voice of Rebellion.[9]
