Acclaimed singer, songwriter, and producer Paul Bartolome has just released his highly anticipated new single, “Painkiller,” marking the third installment in his dynamic video and song series. Known for his collaborations with rock and metal heavyweights like Asking Alexandria and for his unique fusion of theatricality, rock, and metal, Bartolome’s latest release once again showcases his knack for storytelling, intense emotion, and bold musicality.
“Painkiller” is a powerful continuation of the thematic journey Bartolome has crafted through this innovative series, which has captivated fans since its inception. Each song and video explores a different facet of struggle, resilience, and transformation, tapping into universal feelings of pain, love, and hope. With its gripping visuals and hauntingly intense lyrics, “Painkiller” takes listeners on a visceral journey through Bartolome’s world—a place where personal demons are confronted, and strength is forged from vulnerability.
Bartolome’s unique sound—an exhilarating blend of gritty rock riffs, cinematic arrangements, and the theatrical intensity of metal—has earned him a devoted fanbase and critical acclaim within the music industry. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, and Bring Me the Horizon, Bartolome has carved out his own niche, blending the raw, authentic energy of rock with a dramatic, almost cinematic approach to storytelling. “Painkiller” elevates this sound even further, combining hard-hitting instrumentals with soaring melodies that are as catchy as they are cathartic.
