As the follow-up to the first single, “To Burn Inside”, “The Offering” provides a further glimpse into the sonic direction of the upcoming record. Blending heavy riffs with melodic depth and a dark, immersive mood, the track highlights the band’s dynamic approach to doom/death metal while continuing the intensity introduced on the album’s first preview.

About the new single, Timo Solonen comments: “You will do everything for your children. Try to help them in this world. This is about sacrifices you are willing to do so the younger generation can have a better life. Still not sure if you can do enough.
Juho’s solo is really spot on and Eemeli Bodde’s growls are as powerful as we ever hoped. This is melodic doom at its best. The atmosphere keeps you inside the story the whole time.“
Eemeli Bodde, who lends his voice to the track, adds: “I’m not a big doom guy but I remember clearly the first time Timo sent me a demo for ‘The Offering’. The night was dark and silent and I felt a certain type of melancholy listening to the track. He asked me to do the vocals and I hesitated a bit because this style was really unfamiliar to me, but in the end I’m really happy about taking on the challenge. The track turned out to be a beautiful piece of simple but impactful art that I’m sure melodic doom fans will enjoy!“

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 available for pre-order HERE.
