One of the most intense
hardcore-
metal bands of the '90s was undoubtedly
Pro-Pain -- a group that has ignited many a brutal mosh pit during its tenure. As a result, a live album seemed to be a fine fit. However, the group did not get around to issuing a live set until nearly a decade after its debut release (1992's
metal cult classic
Foul Taste of Freedom). But when 2001's
Road Rage arrived, boy, did it ever pack a
Mr. T-esque wallop. The 17-track album includes highlights from throughout
Pro-Pain's career, including such scream-til-the-veins-on-your-neck-explode anthems as
"Foul Taste of Freedom," "Iraqnophobia," "Stand Tall," and a song that
Celine Dion should really consider covering someday,
"The Stench of Piss." It may have taken a long time to rear its head, but
Road Rage lives up to the explosive live shows
Pro-Pain have put on for years.
