• PAIN

  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 project”.

  Started as a one-man creation with all the vocals, instruments

  parts, and production made by one person... Well, it still is,

  but not only. It also became a prominent touring group that

  today consists of, apart from Peter, his son Sebastian

  Tägtgren (drums), Jonathan Olsson (bass), and Sebastian

  Svalland (guitar).

  Nevertheless, a long time ago, in 1997, when the debut album

  of the project was released, there was nobody but Peter. By

  this time, he already had four successful albums with Hypocrisy – and also had some ideas that

  wouldn’t go with the band’s style.

  That’s how the story of PAIN began – the story where 8 albums are known and loved for such

  smashing hits as ‘End Of The Line’, ‘Shut Your Mouth’, ‘Same Old Song’, ‘Follow Me’, ‘Coming

  Home’ and many more. This story also contains strong lyrics, rich arrangements, solid melodies,

  unflagging energy, killing live shows, and big plans for the future.

  In 2021, PAIN released the standalone single 'Party In My Head,' which became even more popular

  than the timeless 'Shut Your Mouth,' amassing over 35 million streams on Spotify to date. At the

  beginning of 2024, PAINheads (as the project's audience calls themselves) discovered that this hit

  would be part of the 9th album 'I Am,' set to be released on May 17, 2024.

  Speaking about PAIN creator Peter Tägtgren, it has to be mentioned that he has a rich history in music.

  He is the leader and co-creator of the legendary death metal band Hypocrisy, co-creator and music

  author of the project LINDEMANN (albums 'Skills in Pills' and 'Frau und Mann'), and owner of Abyss

  Studio (Sweden), where he produces many world-renowned metal bands and albums, among which

  are: Amon Amarth, Amorphis, Celtic Frost, Dark Funeral, Destruction, Dimmu Borgir, Immortal, Joe

  Lynn Turner, Marduk, Possessed, Sabaton, and Septicflesh.

  Wolfheart

  A melodic death metal outfit designed and directed by prolific Finnish metal-maker Tuomas Saukkonen, Wolfheart came to be in 2013 after Saukkonen officially closed the doors on his previous incarnations, Before the Dawn, Black Sun Aeon, Dawn of Solace, and RoutaSielu. Employing a melancholic blend of wintry acoustic Scandinavian metal and complex and melodic extreme metal, the group has released a string of strong, lauded efforts, including Shadow World (2015) and Wolves of Karelia (2020).

  Saukkonen went the one-man band route for the project's first outing, 2013's Spinefarm Records-issued Winterborn, but the following year saw Wolfheart grow into a proper band with the arrival of guitarist Mika Lammassaari (Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Mors Subita), bassist Lauri Silvonen (Bloodred Hourglass), and drummer Joonas Kauppinen (Disease of the Nation). That ensemble was responsible for 2015's critically acclaimed Shadow World, as well as 2017's atmospheric Tyhjyys. Fully embracing the newly minted genre of winter metal, the band released their icy and majestic fourth full-length outing, Wolves of Karelia, in 2020.

  Wolfheart has four members:

  Tuomas Saukkonen - lead vocalist & guitar (Before The Dawn, Black Sun Aeon, Dawn Of Solace, Routasielu)

  Vageliss Karzis - guitar (Rotting Christ)

  Lauri Silvonen - bass & backing vocals (Bloodred Hourglass)

  Joonas Kauppinen - drums (Disease of the Nation)
