Only Through the Pain is the fourth studio album by American rock band Trapt. It was released on August 5,2008 through Allen Kovac and Nikki Sixx's label,Eleven Seven Music. It is their first album to feature guitarist Robb Torres,who replaced original guitarist Simon Ormandy in early 2008 (although both individuals were credited in the album's liner notes).[2]
The album's first single,"Who's Going Home With You Tonight?" was released ahead of time as downloadable content for the video game series Rock Band in 2008,and was also performed in concert in an episode of Cheaters.[3] "Contagious","Black Rose",and "Only One In Color" were also released as singles.
Background and production
By the time work on the album began,the band's relationship with their label,Warner Bros. Records,was already strained,in part due to their 2005 sophomore album,Someone in Control,not meeting the label's expectations.[4] The label quietly dropped the band from their roster and began ignoring the band's emails. Irritated,the band emailed the label saying they were leaving,and began shopping demos around to new labels,ultimately signing to Eleven Seven,which,at the time,was distributed by Warner Bros. The band went up to Canada to work on the album with GGGarth Richardson,who produced the band's self-titled record.[4]
The debut single,"Who's Going Home With You Tonight?",was released on June 10,and peaked at #12 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart and #11 on the Active Rock chart by the end of the month.[10] The album was released on August 5,debuting at number 18 on the US Billboard 200 and number four on the US Top Rock Albums chart,[11] and selling 25,000 copies in its first week.[12] "Contagious" was released as the second single in 2009,also making its way to the Mainstream Rock Airplay and Active Rock charts,peaking at #18 and #15 respectively.
The album received mixed to positive reviews from critics.
