September 27th, 2008

With so many bands around all trying to either be certain things, break new ground or present the latest version of what's trendy, its refreshing to see there are still acts around just playing no frills heavy metal. Sydney's Paindivision is one of those bands, a band whose momentum should only gain impetus with their second album in just over a year showing plenty of development and maturity.

Paindivision's brand of straight-up heavy metal puts them somewhere in the ball park inhabited by groups like Motörhead and Accept. The production is stripped down, but clean and heavy with loud guitars churning out a good solid collection of meaty and catchy hooks.

The critics say about this hard hitting Debut album

This release is thrashy and catchy. The rock is rockin’, Guitarist and band founder Stu Marshall brings his brilliant work to this band,

Paindivision deserve to be ranked amongst the best the country has to offer. Whilst PainDivision are around, Heavy Metal lives! The riffing of 'Unchain Me' channels Motorhead and the gruff vocals and BLS-inspired riffs of 'Devil Preacher' all prove to be winners.

I never expected anything less then the killer tunes chosen to make this debut album one of the best Australian metal albums of the year!.
