Buckle up, grease your boots, and pour yourself a stiff one — Allhelluja’s Pain Is The Game is here to kick you down a staircase of riffs and run you over with groove. This 2006 full-length from Italy’s finest whiskey-swilling riff machines is equal parts stoner metal, southern rock snarl, and death ‘n’ roll aggression, all delivered through the whiskey-scorched throat of Jacob Bredahl (Hatesphere) and backed by Scarlet Records’ co-founders themselves.

The band’s second album is an unapologetic ride through the filth and fury of rock ‘n’ metal — one that balances hard-hitting punch with a touch of psychotic swagger. Opener “Are You Ready? (Ready for Your Massacre)” sets the tone with its sledgehammer groove, before “Superhero Motherfucker Superman” explodes with punk energy and spitfire attitude. Every track has its own unhinged flavor — from the swampy crawl of “Soul Man” to the catchy hooks in “Hey J” and the stomping madness of “Hell On Earth.”

This isn’t a record that rewrites the rules — it sets fire to them, rolls in the ashes, and kicks open the door like it owns the place. “Pain Is The Game” thrives on its honesty: raw riffs, real sweat, no fluff. It’s meant for loud rooms, bad decisions, and fast nights. Pressed in digipak format with a 12-page booklet for the lyrics, this edition is a must-have for anyone who worships at the altar of groove-soaked, punk-laced metal fury.
