ENGINE OF PAIN Announces New Singer

August 9, 2007

ENGINE OF PAIN, the Dutch thrash act featuring former AFTER FOREVER (1995-2000) drummer Joep Beckers, has announced the addition of singer Rogier Stockbroeks (a.k.a. Stocky) to the group' ranks. Former vocalist Nick Hameury left the band July this year due to his immigration to Spain.

Commented the band: "Stocky (32) has the ability to sing amazingly powerful clean as well as heavy as hell. Just like Bastiaan, Stocky currently also plays in STORMRIDER: Europe's number one metal cover band. Stocky's most recent band was POWERVICE. POWERVICE's demo 'Behold the hand of Glory' was 'Demo of the Month' in Germany's Rock Hard magazine. Stocky stepped out of this band last January.

"It will definitely mean another vocally sound for ENGINE OF PAIN, that's for sure. But the band is convinced that Stocky's influences will be a great step forward again and it will take the band to the next level. Don't worry: ENGINE OF PAIN will still play most of the old songs live as well. Just as powerful but with another flavour…

"The band is in full progress for writing new songs for the upcoming second album. Of course, the style will remain heavy and ENGINE OF PAIN-worthy with the intention of the debut album 'I Am Your Enemy' (Lion Music, January 2007) but will contain more melodic vocals, more twin riffs, more high tech soloing and a splash of heavy metal.

ENGINE OF PAIN's first gig with Stocky will take place on October 6 at Plato in Helmond, the Netherlands (supporting PRO-PAIN).
