There are at least five bands named “Pain.”
1. Sweden’s Pain is an industrial metal band. The band started out as a hobby project for Hypocrisy front man Peter Tägtgren, whose idea was to fuse metal with electronic influences. Tägtgren is the only official member. Pain’s self titled debut was released in 1996, and since, Pain has released five more albums (one album featuring Anette Olzon from Nightwish), nine singles and a DVD.
“MUSIC IS everything to me. I’ve been through two divorces and a whole world of shit because of music but still it is the most important thing in the world to me. I’d rather have music than anything else.”
So speaks 36-year-old Peter Tägtgren, musician, producer and creative brain behind Pain. His has been a life immersed in music, in pushing boundaries, and taking ideas to both their logical and illogical extremes. It’s been a career that has involved fronting bands – notably Hypocrisy, and now Pain – or shaping their sounds – as he has done with Celtic Frost, Children Of Bodom, Dimmu Borgir and Immortal, among others. It’s a calling that has made him one of Sweden’s most respected musicians and producers. But, with Pain’s new album ‘Psalms Of Extinction’, he now wants to take things one step further. Now, in his own words, he’s ready to make his band Pain, “the biggest fucking band in the genre. I want this to be huge on a worldwide scale.”
TÄGTGREN’S CAREER began in Hypocrisy, the atmospheric death metal band that he created, fronted and led. “But, in 1996,” Tägtgren says, “I realised I wanted to write some more heavy metal based music. I didn’t want to change Hypocrisy because I didn’t think that band had finished developing in its own genre.

I agree with Brainheld. 'Shut Your Mouth' isn't my favourite Pain track. 'Zombie Slam' & 'Suicide Machine' are my favourite tracks :)

Fortunately my comment was just a joke; I can't possibly imagine how two so individualist, original and wonderful artist egos could survive together. :) Well, they couldn't, that's for sure. Their music so different. I like both though. :P And I don't comment the beautiful part! :D

Haha, I did notice that, how they both have the twin-beard syndrome xD But I can't see Peter working in Nightwish, can you imagine him and Tuomas working in the same band? They're two creative genii who I don't think would submit to each other over anything xD And please, Peter is much, MUCH more beautiful than Tarja :3

Pain should join Nightwish. Don't you think his beard is like what Marco Hietala's beard must have been way back when it was still short? And he kinda looks like a male Tarja Turunen. :D
