New York hardcore band Pro-Pain has released a music video for their latest single, “March Of The Giants“. The track will appear on their upcoming sixteenth studio album, Stone Cold Anger, scheduled for release on May 15, 2026, through Napalm Records. The accompanying video was directed by Ludo Colapietro for Colafilmstudios and shot on location in the Belgian cities of Mons and Charleroi.
Serving as the second single from the forthcoming record, the song explores historical themes of the oppressed fighting back against oppressive plutocracies and oligarchical structures. Frontman and bassist Gary Meskil detailed the collaborative writing process and the core message of the track.
“The second single from our upcoming album, Stone Cold Anger, is ‘March Of The Giants‘ — a song about standing tall and moving forward together to challenge oppressive forces and create real change. It was the first track completed for the new album, written with assistance from Eric Klinger and our former guitarist Matt Sheridan.”
Rhythm guitarist Eric Klinger, who officially returns to the lineup for this album, expressed gratitude for the positive reception of the band’s recent material, stating, “We are thrilled that our previous single was so well received, and we hope you equally enjoy this one. Thank you all for the overwhelming support!”
Stone Cold Anger marks the band’s first full-length release in eleven years, following up their highly successful 2015 effort, Voice Of Rebellion. The ten-track album tackles heavy political themes driven by global instability. When discussing the record’s lead single, “Oceans Of Blood“, released in February, Gary Meskil explained that retribution and governmental corruption are central concepts throughout the new material.
“A common thread runs through the lion’s share of lyrics found in Stone Cold Anger. Much of it has to do with retribution, and our first single, ‘Oceans Of Blood‘, is representative of that. The frustration among people worldwide regarding the rampant corruption and criminality of their governments has reached a breaking point. Wars are being waged in their names, without any consent, funded by their own hard-earned tax dollars. With rising living costs and inflation eroding the value of money, tensions are rising. We’ve already seen this reach a critical level in countries like Sri Lanka, France, and more recently, Nepal, where desperate citizens have taken drastic actions against corrupt politicians, even resorting to violence and destruction of property. When those in power evade accountability for their actions, it leaves the populace with little choice but to assert their rights and take back control.”
Reflecting on the group’s 35-year career, the vocalist thanked their global audience for their enduring support: “After a decade away from the recording studio, we return with Stone Cold Anger — an album forged from global tension and the rising demand for accountability.”
