The band started out as a hobby project for front man [[Peter Tägtgren]], whose idea was to fuse metal with techno influences. Tägtgren, who is also the vocalist/guitarist of [[Hypocrisy (band)|Hypocrisy]] and producer of his own ''[[The Abyss (recording studio)|The Abyss]]'' studios, is the only current member. Pain's self titled debut was released in 1997, and since then Pain has released four more albums, and a DVD. In early February of 2006, blabbermouth.net reported that Pain had signed with [[Roadrunner Records]]. At the moment Pain is on tour as a supporting band for [[Symphonic metal]] band [[Nightwish]]. During this tour singer Peter Tägtgren, drummer David Wallin and bassist Johan Husgafvel were assaulted by a gang in Leipzig. Peter had 10 stitches in his face, David suffered a concussion and Johan had his nose broken.<ref>[http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article1911474.ab Svenska Stjärnor Brutalt Nerslagna] from aftonbladet.se, ''accessed on 23 February, 2008''.</ref> ==Discography== ===Albums=== *''[[Pain (album)|Pain]]'' - ([[1997]]) *''[[Rebirth (Pain)|Rebirth]]'' - ([[1999]]) *''[[Nothing Remains the Same ]]'' - ([[2002]]) *''[[Dancing with the Dead]]'' - ([[2005]]) *''[[Psalms of Extinction ]]'' - ([[2007]]) ===DVDs=== *''[[Live Is Overrated]]'' - ([[2005]]) ==Lineup== ===Member=== *''[[Peter Tägtgren]]'' - Vocals, all instruments ([[1997]]-) ===Session Members=== *''[[Alexi Laiho]]'' - Guitar solo (Just Think Again) ([[2007]]) *''[[Peter Iwers]]'' - Bass (Save Your Prayers, Nailed to the Ground) ([[2007]]) *''[[Horgh]]'' (Reidar Horghagen) - Drums ([[Rebirth (Pain)|Rebirth]]) ([[1999]]) *''[[Mikkey Dee]]'' - Drums (Zombie Slam) ([[2007]]) ===Tour Members=== *''[[Marcus Jidell]]'' - Guitar ([[2007]]) *''[[Michael Bohlin]]'' - Guitar ([[2007]]) *''[[Mathias Kamijo]]'' - Guitars *''[[Andrea Odendahl]]'' - Guitars ([[2005]]) *''[[Saroth]]'' (Yngve Liljebäck) - Bass *''[[Alla Fedynitch]]'' - Bass ([[2005]]) *''[[André Skaug]]'' - Bass ([[2007]]) *''[[Horgh]]'' (Reidar Horghagen) - Drums ([[1999]]) *''[[David Wallin]]'' - Drums [[2005]]) *''[[Marc Gossar]]'' - Drums ([[2007]]) *''[[René Sebastian]]'' - Guitar ([[2008]]) ==References== <references/> ==External links== {{commons|Pain|Pain}} *[http://www.pain.cd/ Official Pain website] *[http://www.myspace.com/officialpain Pain MySpace page] *[http://hamird.tripod.com/ Unofficial Fansite] *[http://www.universalsweden.com/ Stockholm Records website] *[http://www.metalsites.net/bandpages/pain.asp Interview with Peter Tägtgren] * [http://www.hardharderheavy.de/interviews/interview_pain_en.shtml Interview with Peter Tägtgren from October 14th, 2007] *[http://www.rockuntilyoudrop.eu/P.php Videoclips of Pain] [[Category:Musical groups established in 1997]] [[Category:Industrial metal musical groups]] [[Category:Swedish heavy metal musical groups]] [[bg:Pain]] [[da:Pain (band)]] [[de:Pain]] [[es:Pain]] [[fr:Pain (groupe)]] [[it:Pain]] [[no:Pain]] [[pt:Pain]] [[ru:Pain]] [[sl:Pain]] [[fi:Pain]] [[sv:Pain (Peter Tägtgren)]]
