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.

Not Afraid To Die
Pain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're testing our (in)sanity
A razor across our skins, dropping all these magic pills
Can't you see were floating away
Come take my hand, we'll fly away
We'll move in silence
We'll take a trip inside our heads
We're not afraid to die
We're not afraid to lose our minds
We're not afraid to face the things we left behind
We're not afraid
Can you feel the vibration now
Turn your body inside out
This is really going to hurt
Diving to the sea of hell
Can you hear the judgment bells
It's ringing for you and I
Hear how it's calling out our names
You better drop another pill
It will never be the same
We're going down
We're not afraid to die
We're not afraid to lose our minds
We're not afraid to face the things we left behind
We're not afraid to cry
We're not afraid to kiss the sky
We're not afraid to face the things we left behind
A constant replay of our lives is flashing before my eyes
A silent movie in black and white
Maybe it got too much too soon
It's getting hot as hell, we're burning up, I think we're gonna crash
We're not afraid to die
We're not afraid to lose our minds
We're not afraid to face the things the we left behind
We're not afraid to cry
We're not afraid to kiss the sky
We're not afraid to face the things the we left behind
The lyrics to Pain's song "Not Afraid To Die" describe a journey through space and the experience of testing one's own sanity through experimenting with drugs or other means of escaping reality. The lyrics suggest that the singer and their companion are dropping "magic pills" and possibly engaging in other dangerous activities that make them feel like they are "floating away." Despite the risks, the singer declares that they are not afraid to die, lose their minds, or face the things they left behind.
The chorus of the song reaffirms the singer's courage, mentioning that they are not afraid of death or insanity. The lyrics mention a feeling of vibration and a sensation of being turned inside out, suggesting that the characters in the song are experiencing intense hallucinations or other sensations induced by the drugs they are taking.
The final verses describe a feeling of being overwhelmed, with the constant replay of their lives flashing before their eyes. The singer suggests that they are reaching a breaking point, with the sensation of heat and fire that might lead to a crash. Despite this, the chorus is repeated once more, reaffirming the singer's courage and unwillingness to be afraid.
Overall, the song appears to be a commentary on the dangerous allure of drugs and other forms of escapism, while also celebrating the courage it takes to face one's demons and remain unafraid.

A silent movie in black and white
This reflection takes the form of a silent, monochromatic film

It's getting hot as hell, we're burning up, I think we're gonna crash
Our drugs have caused our bodies to feel like they are overheating and we are afraid we will experience a physical or psychological breakdown
