Peter Tagtgren’s PAIN is back [!] - 24 November 2004
We are proud to announce that PAIN is back with a brand new single coming up in January/February 2005 "Same Old Song" (probably one of the band's most epic songs so far), taken from the forthcoming album "Dancing With The Dead", which will hit the stores in February/March 2005!
And if there was ever an occasion where the word come back is accurate, this is the time. PAIN mastermind Peter Tagtgren has, literally, come back from the dead. "I was standing in this bar and had downed two Rum & Cokes after having worked long hours in the studio", Peter remembers. "All of a sudden there was a humming sound in my head and I fell to the floor. After a while I regained consciousness and stood up. A couple of seconds later, I was gone again and there was no pulse. It lasted for quite a while, but my friends managed to bring me back".
Do you know what happened?
"No. But they had this theory that I had worked under a lot of stress for a very long time, and when I started to relax my body took it a bit too far, so to speak".
There is even a song on the new Pain album titled "Not Afraid To Die". Whether stupid or brave, Peter could even be found in another bar the following night....
Peter agrees that PAIN's melodies and riffs are stronger throughout the new album. "I have concentrated more on the actual songwriting - strong melodies, good riffs - as well as making sure the programming is less straight-ahead and grooves more". So expect a fucking killer album!!!
Album Tracklist: don't count me out, same old song, nothing, the table has turned, not afraid to die, dancing with the dead, tear it up, bye/die, my misery, good day to die, stay away, third wave ...
PAIN will be touring on the winter-tour with Tiamat, Theatre of Tragedy and Sirenia!
