Pain is an industrial music project that serves as a creative outlet for famed Swedish heavy metal producer Peter Tägtgren. Launched with a self-titled LP in 1997, Pain has understandably remained predominantly a studio enterprise, but a prolific one at that; with four more albums (1999's Rebirth, 2002's Nothing Remains the Same, 2005's Dancing With the Dead, and 2007's Psalms of Extinction) and literally a dozen-plus singles being released over the ensuing decade. On the infrequent occasions when Tägtgren did take Pain out on the concert trail, he enlisted numerous members of the Scandinavian metal elite, including Immortal's Horgh and Saroth, Hypocrisy's Nazgul, Marduk's Magnus Andersson, and others.
