Hold On Pain Ends is the fourth album from post-hardcore band The Color Morale. This marks the band's first album on Fearless Records following their departure from Rise Records. The album was released on September 2, 2014.
The album title was revealed along with the band's announcement of switching record labels, from Rise to Fearless Records, in April. The band were also featured on the fifteenth installment of the Punk Goes... series, Punk Goes 90s Vol. 2 which featured their cover of Everlong by Foo Fighters that same month. Further details, track listing, album artwork, and release date, were announced on July 2, 2014. The track listing revealed there would be two featured guest artists; Dave Stephens of We Came As Romans and Craig Owens of Chiodos and was produced by Mike Green.
Lead singer Garrett Rapp explained to Altpress of the album's lyrical theme, stating that it discusses issues such as; self-harm and sabotage, suicide, addictions, eating disorders, abandonment along with other related topics shared with him by fans, going on to say that the record itself was made for the listener as a means of telling a story of inner beauty ignored by false belief.
In April, Alternative Press announced the nominees for their first Alternative Press Music Awards (APMAs). The band released their first song off the album on June 23, two months after the initial announcements of their label switch, their new album, and their APMA nomination. The song, titled "Outer Demons", was released along with a promotional lyric video. Pre-orders of the album where made available on the day the album was announced on July 2. The band released their second single “Suicide;Stigma” which features guest vocals from We Came as Romans' David Stephens two weeks later. On August 11 the band released their third single Damnaged, the opening track to the album.
