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 8 albums and 2 DVDs
“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 really wanted to allow that to happen but I also wanted to experiment with other sounds. That’s why I set up Pain.”

2. Forming in 1994, the punk rock band is a musical ensemble comprised of seven members that originated in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Their song "Jabberjaw" was commissioned for Cartoon Network's Adult Swim as a short music video placed into the ad rotation.
Pain's sound is sometimes confused with ska/ska-punk, due to similarities in instrumentation and similar sensibilities to third-wave ska-punk bands, but it cannot be accurately described as ska since it does not utilize the ska beat. The band includes a trumpet, trombone, and saxophone, which are often found in ska bands, but the band members have stated numerous times that they are not a ska band -- in fact they have claimed that they do not like the ska genre. The band is perhaps best defined by their fast-paced lyrics and clever rhythm schemes, both instrumental and spoken. Pain's lyrics are often humorous, touching lightly upon such subjects as Dungeons and Dragons as well as Greek and Arthurian legends, often creating entire plots and stories about fictional characters.
Many of their songs are nostalgic and humorous, while others have philosophic undertones. Despite these subtleties, they maintain a frenzied, bouncy sound and an ironic sense of humor which sets them apart from the mainstream scene.
In mid-2009, the band released the DVD retrospective "In a Band," chronicling the band's 7-year career with over 5 hours of video, audio, and photo content.

Pain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby don't look back, no one goes home tonight
The evil we see and the evil we do
Brings out the beast in me and you
Waking up from screaming
You think it's all in your head
My my, it's a bad day to be alive
Just close your eyes and wait til the sun goes down
You better stay awake
The dark comes knocking so you better start running
Fear the demon in me, fear the demon in you
Hear the voices calling you
Shadow's tongue licking your flesh
Rips the clothes clean of your body
Strip you clean right down to the bones
You can't stay awake, you can't fall asleep
He's coming for your life
Don't wanna wake up dead, you know you're over your head
There ain't no turning back
You better stay awake
The dark comes knocking so you better start running
Fear the demon in me, fear the demon in you
Laying in sweat and tears
Dreams are turning into a living hell
The nightmares you see and the terror you feel
Takes a turn for the worse and becomes real
You better stay awake
The dark comes knocking so you better start running
Fear the demon in me, fear the demon in you
In "Feed The Demons," Pain expresses the idea that everyone has a dark, primal side to them. The lyrics suggest that the pressure and stress of daily life can cause this darkness to emerge and take control. The opening lines of the song give a sense of unease, with the word "creeping" suggesting something sinister lurking in the shadows. The repetition of "no one goes home tonight" adds to the feeling of danger and a lack of escape, as if the darkness is inescapable.
The second verse goes on to describe the physical toll that the darkness can take on the body. The imagery of "crawling under your skin" and "feeding off your hate" is particularly disturbing, evoking an idea of the darkness as a parasitic force that consumes you from within. The chorus of the song repeats the admonishment to "stay awake" and "fear the demon in me, fear the demon in you," as if to emphasize the point that this darkness is always present and always threatening to take over.
The third and final verse brings the nightmare into the waking world, as the dreams that the singer was experiencing earlier become a "living hell." The song ends on a note of helplessness, with the repeated refrain of "you better start running" suggesting that there is no escape from this darkness, only a temporary respite until it comes back again.
Overall, "Feed The Demons" is a powerful and evocative song about the darker side of human nature, and the constant struggle to keep it at bay.
