Sonic Excess recently conducted an interview with PRO-PAIN singer/bassist Gary Meskil. Listen to the chat in two parts below.

PRO-PAIN in December announced the addition of drummer Rick Halverson to the group's ranks. Rick is best known for his work with Omaha thrashers NARCOTIC SELF, STEPHEN PEARCY (RATT) and the power metal band CELLADOR.

PRO-PAIN's 11th album, "No End In Sight", last year entered the German Media Control chart at position No. 98.

The band signed a deal with Regain Records for the release of "No End In Sight" in North America.

Together for 16 years, the Florida-based band has developed a niche in the hardcore/metal scene with a sound distinctly its own.

Carrying that sound through the years, PRO-PAIN has also taken liberties to grow and expand, and "No End in Sight" has been described as the band's most melodic offering to date.
