Finnish doom metal act Grain Of Pain shares haunting new single

Finnish doom metal outfit GRAIN OF PAIN has announced the release of its new full-length album, “Behind Us All”, set to drop on March 27 via Noble Demon. To mark the occasion and offer a first glimpse into the record’s bleak yet emotionally resonant soundscape, the band has unveiled its first single today.

The track, titled “To Burn Inside”, is now available on all major streaming platforms and arrives alongside a brand new music video, which can be watched here:

“To Burn Inside” sees GRAIN OF PAIN leaning deep into their signature blend of doom-laden heaviness and powerful melodies. Featuring a striking guest solo by Pekka Olkkonen (Stam1na), the song explores themes of reflection and the clarity that often comes with age.

Mastermind Timo Solonen comments: 

“So many stones, so many hopes. We are very happy to have Pekka Olkkonen to feature on our first single and to play solo on our song. Song is about life choices we made to earlier in life to chase dreams which weren’t worth it in the end. When you grow older you will find what is most important in life and the struggle to leave old life behind is not always easy. But you can do it as it becomes clear in the end of the song“.

Hailing from Finland, GRAIN OF PAIN delivers a powerful and emotionally charged take on doom/death metal. At the core of the band is Timo Solonen, who handles composition alongside growls and guitars. On bass and clean vocals is Lars Eikind (Before The Dawn), standing out with a prestigious Spellemannsprisen (Grammy) win in Norway.

Joining as session musicians are Juho Räihä (guitars, additional screams) and Juuso Raatikainen (drums), both of whom claimed a Finnish Grammy with Swallow the Sun in 2025. Drawing from a wide range of influences, GRAIN OF PAIN weaves dark atmospheres and powerful melodies into music that resonates long after the final note fades.

Following the signing with German metal specialist Noble Demon in April 2024 for their debut release (“The Moon Lights The Way”), GRAIN OF PAIN now raises the stakes with “Behind Us All”, their second studio album, set for release in March 2026.

“Behind Us All” was produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Juho Räihä at SoundSpiral Audio. The cover artwork was created by Gogo Melone. The album will be released on March 27 via Noble Demon and is now available for pre-order HERE.
