Vocalist Aku Oksala comments:
” “Painful Sleep” comes from our first official demo, Extreme Pain (1991), and represents the most classic form of Messiah Paratroops. It hails from the time our band was named the best Finnish death/thrash metal band that have never released an album. Thirty-four years after Extreme Pain, it’s the perfect time to release a debut album filled with furious vocals, aggressive guitars, and double bass drums!”
