Painbringer

In the early 00s, Painbringer emerged from the underground rave scene, driven by an unstoppable passion to revive the raw sound and uncompromising gabber spirit of the 90s — and reinterpret it for a new generation. Since then, Painbringer has established himself as one of the leading forces behind the new generation of Early Hardcore, combining the authentic sound and energy of the golden era with a fresh and distinctive approach. He has built a strong reputation through years of performing at some of the genre’s most respected festivals and events. His extensive performance history includes Thunderdome, Defqon.1, Dominator, Harmony Of Hardcore, Decibel Outdoor, Titanium Festival, Ghosttown, Pandemonium and many more. With performances in almost ever European country, and a growing presence within the international hardcore community, he continues to push his sound forward while remaining firmly rooted in the subculture that shaped him.
