For My Pain... is a gothic metal supergroup from Oulu, Finland, featuring members from Embraze, Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Nightwish, Charon and Reflexion. The band released their debut studio album, Fallen, in 2003.
History[edit]
The idea of For My Pain... started in 1999, when Altti Veteläinen and Petri Sankala, both from Eternal Tears of Sorrow, wanted to start a new project. They asked two old friends, Tuomas Holopainen and Lauri Tuohimaa, to join. All parties were interested, but as everyone was too busy, the project was postponed.[citation needed]
A few years later the idea came up again, this time with a better timing since both Eternal Tears of Sorrow and Nightwish were having breaks. Two new members were asked to join, Olli-Pekka Törrö and Juha Kylmänen, and the band started recording their debut album in 2001.[citation needed]
For My Pain...'s debut album Fallen was released in 2003. Finnish music magazine Soundi gave the album three out of five stars.[1] In 2004, the band released a single, "Killing Romance", which peaked at number seven on the official Finnish single chart.[2]
In 2005, For My Pain... has been placed on an indefinite hiatus.[citation needed]
On 13 December 2023, the band announced their reunion, alongside a show planned for 3 May 2024, and the promise of new music in 2024.[3]
