Its a great time travel into the band´s own history: on this EP the fans find 3 tracks which represent all the musical benchmarks of FACTORY OF ART: hard riffs, melodic solos and powerful lead vocals. Every single track tells a moving story of grief, loss & hope.
Origininally this EP was made to be published in a very limited number of pieces as promo edition for labels, but then the leading german fanzine „Rock Hard“ discovered it and one of the tracks - „Story of Pain“ - was nominated for the „Unerhört“-challenge of this magazine and – to make a long story short – FACTORY OF ART won this competition and the track was published on the „Rock Hard“-Sampler in the year 2000. As a further result the band played some shows with the german band Destruction during their Germany Tour in 2000: https://www.rockhard.de/stories/destruction-ein-happiges-weekend
All these three tracks were recorded again for the second F.o.A.-album „The Tempter“ in new versions – so the recordings on the now published „Story of Pain“-EP are not only of msuical and historical value, but are collector´s items, too.
Founded in 1990, FACTORY OF ART released two full-length albums („Grasp“ in 1996 & „The Tempter“ in 2002). As part of the campaign to promote their forthcoming new album „Back to Life“ in June 2024 the band will re-release the „Story of Pain“ - EP on Februay 10th an plans to publish some more material (demos, EP´s) from the past in the near future.
