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.

Season Of The Reaper
Pain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The wheels of fortune has stopped and it bleeds
The burning angel and hungry crows
Their black eyes that drill holes in our souls
The tortured souls that won't find its peace
The endless screams that echo on
Lay down with the dead, the funeral has begun
The night is still yours
When you're sleeping with the dead
And he smiles at you as he takes your life
It burns inside of you
It burns when you die
How sweet and calm, buried six feet under
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
The time has come to pay the price
When you're left to rot
Close your eyes and rest in pain
The endless screams that echos on
Lay down with the dead, the funeral has begun
No one comes to pay respect, come lay to rest
The night is still yours
When you're sleeping with the dead
When you sleep with the dead it burns
Lay down with the dead, the funeral has begun
No one comes to pay respect, come lay to rest
The night is still yours
When you're sleeping with the dead
The song "Season Of The Reaper" by Pain portrays the inevitability of death and what comes after it. The lyric "We came with nothing and with nothing we'll leave" suggests that in the end, none of our material possessions or status matter because we will all eventually die, and we can't take anything with us. The "wheels of fortune" stopping and bleeding could refer to the end of a person's luck or life, and the "burning angel and hungry crows" are symbolic of death and decay. The black eyes of the crows that "drill holes in our souls" represent the darkness and emptiness that people feel when they face their own mortality.
The chorus "The endless screams that echo on, lay down with the dead, the funeral has begun" emphasizes the finality of death and the mourning that comes with it. The following lines "No one comes to pay respect, come lay to rest, the night is still yours, when you're sleeping with the dead" suggest that in death, a person is alone and must come to terms with their own mortality. The phrase "sleeping with the dead" is a euphemism for being buried next to the deceased, and the thought of being alone in the quiet of the night with nothing but the dead can be unsettling. The final lines "When you sleep with the dead, it burns" could refer to the idea that the thought of being buried alive or being in a coffin can be scary.

We came with nothing and with nothing we'll leave
We were born with nothing and when we die, we take nothing with us
The wheels of fortune has stopped and it bleeds
Luck has run out and it causes pain
The burning angel and hungry crows
Symbols of death that await us
Their black eyes that drill holes in our souls
Death's presence haunting our minds and causing inner turmoil
The tortured souls that won't find its peace
The afterlife for those who've gone through immense pain
The endless screams that echo on

Lay down with the dead, the funeral has begun
Death has arrived and it's time to rest
No one comes to pay respect, come lay to rest
There's nobody left to mourn your death
The night is still yours
It's only in the afterlife that you can fully claim the time
When you're sleeping with the dead
When you're finally at peace, with other dead beings
And he smiles at you as he takes your life
Death comes with a smile as it takes away life
It burns inside of you
The pain doesn't end even after the heart stops beating
It burns when you die
Death isn't peaceful, it's painful
How sweet and calm, buried six feet under
Peaceful, but only after death
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
A reminder of the inevitability of death
The time has come to pay the price
The time has come to face the consequences of life's actions
When you're left to rot
The gruesome fate of the body after death
Close your eyes and rest in pain
Death may bring peace, but it's not devoid of pain
