McCheyne (horns).\nRecorded at Pyramid Sound Studios, Ithaca, New York.\nWhen Pro-Pain's debut album, Foul Taste of Freedom, it fit neatly into the urban hardcore\/rap-metal hybrid inspired by Anthrax and epitomized by Biohazard. The rap influence was subtle, apparent in the rhythmically shouted vocals and an occasional funked-up drum flourish, but it wasn't wildly different from hardcore\/metal mosh bands like M.O.D. Its classification probably had more to do with the time-frame in which it was released -- Anthrax's duet with Public Enemy on \"Bring the Noise\" was fresh in metal fans' minds, and other well-publicized collaborations were in the offing, so the hardened, street-level aggression of Foul Taste of Freedom was perhaps credited to hardcore hip-hop a bit more than it should have been. Whatever its classification, though, Foul Taste of Freedom packs a wallop; even when Pro-Pain's riff-writing skills lapse, they have the power and aggression to remain a punishingly heavy sonic force. \"Pound for Pound\" was something of a success on MTV's Headbanger's Ball specialty show. ~ Steve Huey\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 07\/22\/2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pro-pain","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52746845225253,"sku":"9QKEFW-VOB7-V1","price":15.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/8142\/3397\/files\/pro-pain-foul-taste-of-freedom_L40Z4.jpg?v=1783456785","url":"https:\/\/mediamall.com\/products\/pro-pain-foul-taste-of-freedom","provider":"mediamall","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
