Friday, time for a party tune and PAIN, the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, producer and mastermind Peter Tägtgren, has released its first original song in five years: "Party In My Head".
Blending '80s synth, electro, and metal, PAIN delivers one hell of an anthem providing a powerful sonic vaccine against the distress and depression caused by the worldwide pandemic.
Tägtgren comments: "I decided to write a song about all the bullshit from the last year of lock-up and people's struggle, including my own, to adapt to the new way of life. Suddenly, all of us had to deal with our inner selves in our secluded new life, so this is the cheer-up song for people. Each of us has our own party in our head. Musically, it's a hell of a party song. I can't wait to play it live."
The video features a guest appearance by Joe Lynn Turner (RAINBOW, YNGWIE J. MALMSTEEN, DEEP PURPLE) and the return of the Alien from PAIN's biggest hit, "Shut Your Mouth". Peter’s son Sebastian plays drums on the track.
The German/Swedish industrial metal super-duo LINDEMANN featuring lead vocalist Till Lindemann of Neue Deutsche Härte band RAMMSTEIN, along with multi-instrumentalist Peter Tägtgren of Swedish death metal band HYPOCRISY and industrial metal project PAIN. Tägtgren defines it as "a baby between RAMMSTEIN and PAIN – at least it's a mix of RAMMSTEIN vocals and PAIN music."
Now they have shared a new song from their collaborative project LINDEMANN.
"Steh Auf" is the duo’s first new material since their 2015 album "Skills in Pills". The single is taken from their newly announced second record, "F & M", which is due for release on November 22.
LINDEMANNs 2015 debut album featured lyrics written and sung entirely in English in a first for Till Lindemann, who until then had sung a few words in English in RAMMSTEINs music. On "Steh Auf" Till sings in his native German. His work with RAMMSTEIN is forever envelope-pushing in its fearless experimentation, but something about Till Lindemann's output with his solo project has an even more surreal vibe that complements the German singer's brutish sex appeal in a compelling, never clichéd way. Said project's latest offering, "Steh Auf", is an anthemic instruction to "Stand up!", and with the driving beat and symphonic flourishes behind him, you'll surely do as Till commands.
Today's tune "Steh Auf" is the first single from the upcoming album "F & M", The music video featured Swedish actor Peter Stormare. Enjoy today's tune!
Coming Home is the eighth album by Swedish metal band PAIN, released on September 9, 2016 via Nuclear Blast Records.
Amongst metal's heaviest, darkest and meanest diehards Peter Tägtgren is known first and foremost as the frontman and founder of HYPOCRISY, then as a producer who has racked up time in his Abyss Studio since 1995 with seemingly every metal band under the sun.
During the five year gap between You Only Live Twice (2011) and Coming Home, PAIN did a decent amount of touring and Peter succeeded in blindsiding the metal community by teaming up with seemingly reclusive RAMMSTEIN frontman Till Lindemann. The duo released the Lindemann debut, Skills And Pills, backed by some huge label confidence and promotional firepower, guaranteeing that everyone heard about Lindemann whether they liked the PAIN-STEIN sound of the project or not.
"It was great, we had the time of our lives," Peter laughs. "Just two idiots out in the world doing promotion and it was great. We had such a blast. It's a memory for life. We started with one song and we all know how it ended. It was amazing. Till is fucked up which is why we fit together (laughs). There were no rules for anything when we made the album. It was all 'follow your heart.'"
"Coming Home" includes drummer Sebastian Tägtgren, Peter's seventeen-year-old son who delivers an impressive guest appearance on the title track as well as SABATON's Joakim Brodén who joins the team for some typically raw warrior vocals on "Call Me".
Today's tune "Designed To Piss You Off" is taken form the latest album "Coming Home", Enjoy!

LINDEMANN is a German/Swedish industrial metal band featuring the lead vocalist Till Lindemann of the Neue Deutsche Härte band RAMMSTEIN, along with multi-instrumentalist Peter Tägtgren of the Swedish death metal band HYPOCRISY and industrial project PAIN. On May 28, 2015 the band released it's debut single "Praise Abort", see the video below. A Studio album titled "Skills In Pills" is expected to release on June 23, 2015.
Like all the best stories of death and destruction, the tale of LINDEMANN – the new band featuring Till Lindemann and Peter Tägtgren – begins with a night of total debauchery.
“In 2000 I was in Sweden, where we were mixing the Mutter album,” says Lindemann, familiar to millions worldwide as frontman with Germany’s biggest rock band, RAMMSTEIN. “One evening, our keyboard player and I went out to a biker bar with some girls, but one of the bikers there was the ex-boyfriend of one of those girls and wanted to kick my ass. He had a lot of friends with him, so we thought we were doomed – but then who should walk into the bar but Peter Tägtgren? He told them that we were cool guys, and not to beat the shit out of us...”
Tägtgren and Lindemann soon became friends – and the next time the RAMMSTEIN frontman returned to Sweden, the two stepped up their game when it came to partying. Lindemann recalls: “Next time I met Peter, we had a Chinese meal together. We had a really nice dinner and afterwards we were really full. Then I said, ‘Let’s drink some Jägermeister’...”
“Till fucked me up!” Tägtgren remembers. “He kept saying to me, ‘Just one more shot...’ until I vomited over the bar into the ice machine. Then they threw me out, still puking everywhere.”
“After that, we had a candle competition,” says Lindemann with an evil smile. “We had a bet about how long we dared to hold our arms over the flame of a candle. I said to myself, ‘I’m going to beat you, pussy!’, lit a cigarette and smoked while my arm burned. I could smell it. I had a scar for the next two months...”
And so LINDEMANN, the band, was born. With a genesis as vivid as this, it’s little wonder that the debut album Skills In Pills is one of the most gripping releases of the year – and the darkest. Thanks to the RAMMSTEIN singer’s often hilarious, sometimes utterly filthy lyrics, plus Tägtgren’s super-modern studio skills and instrumentation, it’s a set of 10 songs like no other.
Albums like this don’t come along often: violent, visceral and courageous, Skills In Pills is a listening experience like no other. The final revelation is that this album was never meant to happen: it was only ever supposed to be a throwaway collaboration between two friends. As Tägtgren explains: “This is the result of a year of fucking around with sounds! We had no idea that we’d go as far as releasing an entire album, but this thing has just got bigger and bigger.”
The twisted product of two uniquely creative minds, Skills In Pills is your new medicine. Take it now.
Joel McIver, 2015

Todays tune "Praise Abort" taken from the upcoming debut album "Skills In Pills". Once again will Till Lindemann try to shock the world.
Today Im going to break some thingies here :) We usually do classics on sundays but I saw a video on a friends FB, and I really loved it.
This is a Swedish rap/metal, kinda industry metal music, that I really like. They have cocky lyrics and good ones too.
For givin u an example this is the beggining of this tune, its sorta sarcastic :D
"Nobody is perfect but I'm pretty fucking close and I'm here to give you all a heavy heavenly dose I think you'd better listen 'cos I know who you are and I think that you should treat me like a superstar because I'm more than just a human I'm a gift to all of you and I'm here to make sure that my message gets through I wonder if you're really all as dumb as you look or are you smart enough to learn the rules in my book I hope you understand that the knowledge I bring puts me in the position of a god or a king 'cos I'm blessed with the gift of the magic touch"
Clawfinger are currently working on a re-recording of their debut album Deaf Dumb Blind. The plan is to re-record all the songs from that album and bring in guests. Zak Tell has stated they were speaking with the members of Rammstein and Peter Tagtgren from the bands Pain and Hypocrisy.
Current members are, Zak Tell on Lead vocals, lyrics Jocke Skog on Keyboards, vocals Bård Torstensen on Rhythm guitar André Skaug on Bass Micke Dahlén on Drums
Today we'll look at Heavy Metal act "Pain" (typeset as PAIN) who was the main act on the "Griståget" (Pig Train) ended the evening at Debaser. With lots of gadgets on stage so it looked very nice. All stage accessories should illustrate the latest record which I thought they succeeded quite well. But it was not just stuff on stage, but also on the premises, the gig was going be recorded for an upcoming Pain - DVD

Raubtier that opened really strong before it was time for the Pain. Mr. Tätgren and CO did a brilliant gig, tagged, eager and really wanted to give everything to satisfy the "Stockholm" audience who were already was well heated up what's required by Raubtiers warming up show.
It was a real hit cavalcade of music from Pain's catalog, the one thing I could point out on this evening was that I missed the PYRO, but to use Pyro inside on Debaser is not something you do.
Pain is known to use quite a lot of the pyrotechnic during their gigs. For those who do not know, so actually the band Pain a true (real) pyro-technicians, David Wallin (drummer) which both rigging the pyrotechnic and shoots it off under the show through his specially built pyropad which is part of his drum set (Actually this is very cool to see) can not really come up with any other drummer who does something similar to this, so this is probably quite unique. During the gig did the bassist "Andre Skaug" from Clawfinger jumped in and tore off a couple songs, what killer ride it became as he came in, he rushed around as a lunatic on the stage.
I can tell a small detail which was kinda funny, when the band bus arrived at the venue and the band members tumbled out from the bus,, then it popped out a issued a "groupie", well that was probably a bit exaggerated but anyway, it was quite a well known musician who knows the bands and followed on for a couple of gigs. He had obviously been drinking a bit to much the night before and passed out, which made that a couple of the band members had amused themselves to apply makeup on him, so he looked quite funny when he came out from the bus :)

For over a week ago, Debaser, Stockhom got a visit of Pain & Raubtier who made their last and final gig on the "Griståget tour" (Pigtrain tour). The name of the tour is a celebration of Pain and Raubtiers old heroes. The name "Griståget" (Pigtrain) was a tour collaboration in 1993 between Eddie Meduza and Svullo. The name was a travesty of "Rocktåget" (Rocktrain).
Toys, Toys, Toys, it was something that popped up everywhere when the Raubtiers stuff came up. Radio controlled airplanes, tanks ... a whole fucking toy shop ... haha. To spend one gig days pay in a toy store is pretty crazy, there is probably no one else who does this besides just Raubtier. A bit crazy, but really wonderful guys, you know one of those few.
Their performance was really good, extremely good response from the audience who sang along to every line of text, shaking their fists and shouted right where it would be, in other words, a perfect band to warm up before the main act.
During their gig did they got accompanied on stage by the band Pain, André Skaug (bassist from Clawfinger), Pär Sundström (bassist from Sabaton) and Joakim Broden (singer from Sabaton), resulting in a huge boost to the audience and Raubtier.
A little funny detail was at Changeover when Raubtiers gadgets should get down from the stage and Pains stage be prepared, there was one of the members of the Sabaton (no names mentioned) in the way all the time, all the time is well to exaggerate, but it was kind of funny when we ran into each other all time, at one point I thought he fitted well to will the first camouflage holder (Rabutier had two large cammo nets hanging over the scene), it was a very interesting sight, suited well with Sabaton :-)
This time I was unfortunately unable to photograph the gig, so you simply have to make it with my before the gig pictures and then i have some pictures from the festival photographer Jasmin Wikström.
Todays tune "En Hjältes Väg" taken from their second album Skriet från vildmarken - 2010. Its a kinda cool "Viking Video" were the hero is played by Martin "E-type" Eriksson.

Current line up is:
Pär Hulkoff - Vox, guitar
Mattias "Buffeln" Lind - drums
