King of Pain (因果応報, Ingaōhō) is the twenty-third studio album by Japanese heavy metal band Loudness. It was released on May 19, 2010 only in Japan and marks the full-length debut of drummer Masayuki Suzuki. Guitarist Akira Takasaki would later say King of Pain was focused on featuring Suzuki.[1] The album reached number 21 on the Oricon chart.[2]
The album shows a return to standard-tuned guitars and bass, and according to some fans, a return to their 1980s sound.[3][unreliable source]
