In a message on his Instagram page, Peter Tägtgren posted a message which said “Meet Peter Tägtgren. He released last PAIN record 8 years ago (2016). Sometimes he makes his audienc wait a long time for the next album. Because he’s a damn perfectionist. But soon… 🤫“
PAIN has released a new song, “Revolution” last September. the song was a standalone single.
Watch “Revolution” below.
Peter comments: “We wrote this song together, me and my son Sebastian. He wrote all the music and I did the lyrics. And it turned out great. We are very proud of this song. The lyrics are about false information on social media and news, and for a normal person, it’s hard to understand what is right and what is wrong.”
Regarding how PAIN came together, Peter previously said: “PAIN was just me fucking around in the studio, and it grew into becoming a band.”
Started as a one-man project with all the vocals, instruments parts, and production made by one person, it has became a prominent touring group that today consists of, apart from Peter, his son Sebastian Tägtgren (drums), Jonathan Olsson (bass) and Sebastian Svalland (guitar).
Peter is also the founder, frontman and guitarist for the Swedish death metal band HYPOCRISY, as well as a world-renowned producer whose resume includes work with SABATON, MARDUK, DARK FUNERAL, DIMMU BORGIR, IMMORTAL and SEPTICFLESH, among many others.
