After 14 long years the Swedish UFO has landed once again in Zagreb, Croatia. With the European tour “I AM” the Swedish industrial masters Pain are here once again, along with special guests, the finnish folk metal legends Ensiferum. Support bands will be Swedish Eleine and melodic death metal band Ryujin from Japan. Because of the big interest, the gig was relocated to a larger venue: Boogaloo.
PAIN was formed back in 1996 in Swedish town of Ludvika by the multitalented Peter Tagtgren of Hypocrisy fame, which is its only constant member. By style it is safe to say that Pain combines heavy metal, electronic music and techno from the eighties. They have released eight albums so far, which have hits like “End Of The Line’, ‘Shut Your Mouth’, ‘Same Old Song’, ‘Follow Me’ and ‘Coming Home’. On this tour, Pain will visit 17 countries and 33 cities. Live members on this tour consists of Peter’s son Sebastian on drums, Jonathan Olsson on bass and Sebastian Svalland on guitars.
