{{For|other music bands|Pain (disambiguation)}}
'''Pain''' is an [[industrial metal]] band from [[Sweden]]. 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>
