Finnish doom/death metal band Grain of Pain have signed a deal with Noble Demon and will release their debut album entitled ‘The Moon Lights The Way’ on 31 May. The band’s music, centred around the prolific Timo Solonen, is a powerful fusion of dark, emotional melodies and haunting vocals.
The line-up of Grain of Pain consists of a number of high-calibre musicians, first and foremost Timo Solonen, who not only demonstrates his skills as a composer but also contributes growls and guitars. He is joined by Juho Räihä on guitar, Lars Eikind on bass and clean vocals, Juuso Raatikainen on drums and Sini Pajunen, who contributes her captivating vocals. Last but not least, Taka Eliel enriches the band’s dark sound with his backing growls.
Graijn of Pain‘s sound is characterised by its emotional depth and draws on a variety of influences to create a unique blend of dark atmospheres and powerful melodies.
The band’s skills have already caused a stir: Lars Eikind won the prestigious Spellemannsprisen in Norway and both Juho Räihä and Juuso Raatikainen were nominated for a Finnish Grammy with Swallow the Sun.
Mastermind Timo Solonen on the track: ‘When you try to achieve something that looks promising. Or when you try to get something back from your past life and it fails. All those emotions go through your head. Or is it something else? The listeners will hear and experience this based on their own lives. I don’t want to take that experience away from them.’
‘The Moon Lights The Way’ will be released digitally on 31 May via Noble Demon.
