With “Only Through The Pain”, the third and most ambitious album yet from Platinum rockers Trapt, the band have not only returned to form but shattered expectations of what a rock disc can be. The L.A. based group returned to Co-Producer Gggarth Richardson’s Vancouver studio to rekindle the magic that helped propel its 2002 eponymous debut past two million in sales. The comfort of reconvening with Richardson has allowed the men of Trapt to excel both creatively and spiritually on an album that is not only a staggering representation of the growth the band has made, but a kick-ass jolt of hard rock to boot .
From the riff-roaring, high energy anthem “Wasteland” to the deeply moving finale “The Last Tear,” the follow up to Trapt’s 2005’s gold-certified Someone In Control again finds frontman, guitarist and principal songwriter Chris Taylor Brown going deep. “I’ve come to a point where I’ve discovered the positives and negatives of pain,” the vocalist explains. “I really believe that the bad times in life really help to contribute to the good times in life and these lyrics embrace that. I much prefer to allow myself to feel everything as it comes, as opposed to maybe numbing yourself so that you can avoid feeling anything.”
Drawing lyrically on the kind of personal experiences that earned the band modern and mainstream rock smashes like “Headstrong”, “Still Frame” and “Stand Up”, Only Through The Pain affirms Trapt has turned out its strongest song-cycle yet.
