"Emerging from the heart of the New Jersey metal scene, Raw Pain Down (RPD) has made waves with their latest album, Echoes of Silence. Released on November 10, 2024, the album is a masterclass in metal, blending elements of thrash, progressive metal, and classic heavy metal influences to deliver an unparalleled auditory experience."

"Tight, vibrant and energetic are perhaps the key words here, with some songs coming across as more traditional heavy metal in style and orientation while others may be a bit more aligned towards the thrash metal part of the spectrum."
