Pain — EP, 7"

Pain EP, released on July 2010, marks this Singaporean sludge metal / crust punk, Abolition A.D. debut release, introducing their raw and aggressive sound to the underground music scene.

Pain delivers a fusion of sludge metal and crust punk, characterized by heavy, downtuned riffs and a gritty, unpolished production. The EP's brevity doesn't compromise its intensity; each track is a burst of raw energy, reflecting themes of despair and societal decay.

Total runtime: 9 minutes and 35 seconds. The recording took place at Focal Pro Audio Solutions, engineered by Gavin Cheong and mastered by Nicholas Wong Guo Rong.

Their later works, such as After Death Before Chaos, build upon the foundation established in Pain, indicating the band's growth and evolution. For fans of raw and uncompromising sludge metal, Pain EP offers a glimpse into Abolition A.D.'s early sound and artistic direction.
