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.

Уж кто кто а Америка точно не сосет =) Смотрите меньше телевизор и лезте меньше в дела политические и смотрите меньше Задорного, кто в Америке не был и не общался с настоящими американцами пусть на них бочку не катит... Политика у них сакс ничего не говорю, но им она сама не нравится, достаточно послушать Дистарбд... Короче ребята давайте жить дружно и мочите чурок, вот кто настоящие уроды и бич нашей страны... знаю не по наслышке =)

I haven't heard the pre-Psalms albums (I plan to in the future though, just haven't got around to it yet). I was just commenting on the fact people tend to pick out Cynic as their "disappointment" album, whereas I'd think if they didn't like Cynic, they wouldn't like Psalms either. (I love both, for the record ^^)

actually, if you compare both albums with the four previous, they are quite of less quality. i like them both, but rebirth, nothing remains... and dancing with th dead are far better

I have both Psalms of Extinction and Cynic Paradise, and I really can't understand why people say things like "cynic paradise ruined this band for me". To me they seem quite similar albums, so if you didn't have a problem with Psalms, you wouldn't have a problem with Cynic...? :S
