Pain is an industrial metal musical project from Sweden. The project 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 and producer of his own The Abyss studios, is the only current member. He has mentioned his influence to start the project was Soul of a New Machine. Pain's self titled debut was released in 1997, and since then Pain has released five more albums and a DVD. In early February 2006, blabbermouth.net reported that Pain had signed with Roadrunner Records. Currently, Pain is under the Nuclear Blast Records banner. At the moment Pain is on tour as a supporting performer for the Finnish symphonic power metal band Nightwish. During this tour singer Peter Tägtgren, drummer David Wallin and bassist Johan Husgafvel were assaulted by a gang in Leipzig. Peter received 10 stitches in his face, David suffered a concussion and Johan had his nose broken.^[1]

It was confirmed in January 2009 that Pain would be again supporting Nightwish on the second half of their Dark Passion Play World Tour, along with Finnish pop/rock band Indica, beginning with the first show in London, UK on 11th March 2009.
