The Equinox is the exciting follow-up to PainKiller’s acclaimed 2024 release Samsara,
and this time around there is greater variety and flexibility in their approach. Six
tracks of various feels and tempi are performed with trademark Painkiller intensity,
with jazz, metal, noise, grindcore, techno, and more coming together into the
PainKiller gristmill. Inspired by the magickal procedures of Aleister Crowley, this
new recording is filled with great melodic, rhythmic, and textural invention. Almost
orchestral in its layered complexity, The Equinox is an exhilarating masterwork from
three radical and uncompromising forces of nature.
