Pain return to the UK after a 6 year absence next month
Today Pain have today released a brand new song titled 'Revolution'. Pain are also pleased to announce that they'll be appearing at Wacken Open Air next year!
Peter Tägtgren comments:
"We wrote this song together, me and my son Sebastian - he wrote all the music and I did the lyrics. And it turned out great. We are very proud of this song. The lyrics are about false information on social media and news, and for a normal person it’s hard to understand what is right and what is wrong."

Pain is an industrial metal project created by Peter Tägtgren, a Swedish musician, multi-instrumentalist, and producer. If you want to hear this story from him, it would be short and straight to the point: “Pain was just me f*cking around in the studio, and it grew into becoming a band”.
It started as a one-man project with all the vocals, instruments parts, and production made by one person… And well, it still is, but it's more than that. It also became a prominent touring group that today consists of Peter, his son Sebastian Tägtgren (drums), Jonathan Olsson (bass), and Sebastian Svalland (guitar).
A long time ago, in 1997 when the project's debut album was released, there was nobody but Peter. By this time he already had four successful albums with his other band Hyprocrisy – but he also had some ideas that wouldn’t go with the band’s style.
That’s how the story of Pain began – the story of 8 albums that are known and loved for hits such as End Of The Line, Shut Your Mouth, Same Old Song, Follow Me, Coming Home and many more. This story also contains memorable lyrics, rich arrangements, solid melodies, unflagging energy, killer live shows, and big plans for the future.
