Former BIOHAZARD Guitarist's ADDICTED TO PAIN Signs With MEGAFORCE RECORDS

July 21, 2010

Managing to combine the sounds of '80s-era first-wave thrash and '90s-era power metal, Albany, New York's ADDICTED TO PAIN will appeal to a wide variety of heavy metal connoisseurs. Comprised of Leo Curley (vocals, guitar; ex-BIOHZARD),Bob Horvath (bass),and Gregory Nash (drums),it all started when Bob and Leo met in a band called EYESORE (which included a pre-SHADOWS FALL Jason Bittner in its ranks),before finding the missing piece to the puzzle with Gregory. But come 2010, the trio has unleashed its first-ever release — a self-titled four-song EP — which is available for purchase via iTunes, as well the group's official site and MySpace page. It will be released on September 14 via Megaforce Records.

And to get that extra added crunch to their sound, the boys enlisted the aid of a gentleman that was there at the dawn of the thrash metal movement, Alex Perialas (ANTHRAX, S.O.D., TESTAMENT, PRO-PAIN, etc.). "Most amazing/draining recording experience ever," recalls Curley. "[Alex] really pulled it out of us. It was like working in a piece of metal history — living in the band house and studio where all that happened was humbling. We had a lot to live up to."

ADDICTED TO PAIN is gearing up to tour the U.S. in the fall. It won't be long until headbangers coast to coast will get to experience this fearsome threesome head-on. Or, as Curley describes the group's live show, "Blood, sweat, and tears all over the stage!"
