“Fun and Violence” is Painstorm’s latest album. An album that explores the most brutal side of the human mind, which holds a genuine fascination for horror.
The Spanish death metal band Painstorm, formed in Madrid in 2020, is known for its old-school sound that captures the essence of 80s and 90s death metal, with heavy riffs, guttural vocals, blast beats and raw production, as heard on its album Devouring Entrails (2023). The band explores themes of horror, murder, suicide, madness and social issues, with an approach described as “Death Punkers from Hell”. Below, I present an analysis of the bands that likely share similarities with Painstorm, focusing on Spanish and international bands, considering their old-school death metal style with punk and thrash influences.
