As far as groovy, thrashy, and completely badass hardcore goes, there aren't many bands that rival the New York pioneers in Pro-Pain. For roughly twenty years, these guys have been pumping out uncensored audio assaults that blur the line between thrash metal and hardcore, and 2013's The Final Revolution once again shows Pro-Pain doing what they do best. Sure, the band's own evolution in recent years has been minimal at most, but as long as they keep releasing records as consistent and enjoyable as this one, it's tough to complain.

The Final Revolution's main focus seems to be on grooves, grooves, and more grooves - the riffs here are infectiously catchy at times, and even though this is a very aggressive and “in-your-face” type of album, each track features the sort of mosh-inducing licks that we've come to expect from Pro-Pain over the years. Factor in Adam Phillips' exceptional lead guitar work and Gary Meskil's passionately angry vocal performance, and it's clear that The Final Revolution is another strong entry in Pro-Pain's discography. A revolution it is not, but a solid offering of thrashy hardcore awesomeness it sure is.
