PAIN, the Swedish industrial metal force led by multi-instrumentalist and producer Peter Tägtgren (Hypocrisy, Lindemann), will unleash the followup to 2011’s You Only Live Twice this Fall. After the substantial success of his Lindemann project with Rammstein vocalist Till Lindemann, Tägtgren retreated to his Abyss Studios to focus on writing yet another industrial metal masterpiece. Coming Home will be released on September 9th through Nuclear Blast and features artwork by Stefan Heilemann (Epica, Lindemann, Indica).
In anticipation of its official unveiling, the band has released two album trailers as well as a lyric video for “Black Knight Satellite,” all available for viewing at THIS LOCATION.

“That’s me, designed to piss you off…” When Peter Tägtgren is ascending from the depths of his legendary Abyss Studio to take the microphone, a little musical revolution is inevitable. Because what else would you expect from Hypocrisy’s death metal veteran, who not only plays industrial metal with PAIN, but is considered to be one of the most influential producers in the metal scene (Dimmu Borgir, Children Of Bodom, Sabaton etc.), and recently launched his controversial project Lindemann in partnership with Rammstein’s frontman Till.
Since the beginning of his career in the early ’90s, the Swedish allrounder has enjoyed diving into the extreme and has grown to be an untameable force. But this is exactly what makes him so fascinating. Taboos, creative stagnation, or genre boundaries have never existed in the world of the forty-six-year-old mastermind. And, of course, Peter Tägtgren wandered the same unexplored paths when the time came to forge Coming Home, the eighth studio release of the industrial institution PAIN. However, the path was long and winding and therefore, the writing process for the follow-up of 2011’s You Only Live Twice wasn’t all fun and games, but Peter Tägtgren is well prepared for the fight:
“Sometimes you pull your hair out and lay sleepless all night long, because you can’t figure out this one chorus or don’t know how to finish a certain song,” admits the singer and guitarist. “That’s just me: When I dive into it, there’s no ending in sight. It’s a self-destructive mechanism. But I want perfection – or I don’t want it at all.”
