Album Description
Peter Tagtgren - musician, producer and creative brain behind Pain - is used to pushing boundaries. It's been a career that has involved fronting bands - notably Hypocrisy, and now Pain - or shaping their sounds - as he has done with Celtic Frost, Children Of Bodom, Dimmu Borgir and Immortal, among others. He has been described by Alternative Press as "the Rick Rubin of Scandinavian metal." Pain is a solo-project in which T gtgren played every instrument, culminating in a sound that is electronica infused metal with an ethereal ambience and setting Pain apart from other industrial based artists. A stellar cast of musicians have helped on 'Psalms Of Extinction'. In Flames bassist Peter Iwers, Children Of Bodom guitarist Alexei Laiho and Mot rhead drummer Mikkey Dee. |

More Of The Same by Dan D. Apice  5 Stars
September 15, 2008
Pete doesn't disappoint yet again. The heaviness of Hypocrisy mixed with a little industrial makes for another good album. It's too bad they don't get the recognition they deserve over here in the States.

Pain - Pslams of Extinction by J. Gomez (Ontario, Canada) 5 Stars
July 19, 2007
The first time I heard of the band pain was through a home made game video, and the song was dancing with the dead. When I went to our local music store there where absolutly no pain CS's what so ever. So I went home and downloaded the discography and was amazed. Nearly every song on this CD, and "dancing with the dead" where by far all amazing songs. Even though Zombie Slam seems to not be sung my Peter, or at least not without effects, all songs are amazing and a recommended buy for anyone looking for a Metal CD. Highly recommend both albums.

Pain? by P. Buche (Chicago, IL, WA) 5 Stars
July 04, 2007
I'm still getting a grasp of all of these various incarnations of metal music. The lines start to blur here, as this just simply cannot be categorized correctly without adding some kind of sub-genre into your tag. The one tag that I can assimilate to Pain is metal, but from that point I find myself flipping and flopping all over the metal genre looking for a proper metal placement. Pain is metal, it's some other kind of metal, and it's good metal. Buy this album and remeber the new saying "NEVER SETTLE FOR LESS THAN METAL".

A great industrial metal album! by CRAZOTOLOGY (Joplin, MO. (USA)) 5 Stars
June 28, 2007
Pain's 'Psalms Of Extinction' is essentially an apocalyptic metal album that seems quite unhappy about an ending world full of cretins and conservative sociopaths. Peter Tagtgren is the creator, vocalist, and composer of PAIN. This band (Pain) is nothing like Tagtgren's other music projects which include both singing and guitar playing for the bands Hypocrisy, and The Abyss, and producing albums for black metal bands Immortal, Dimmu Borgir, Marduk, and Celtic Frost. There is nothing black Metal about this band, just in case you were seeking such a thing. This album stands out as an original work of music, combining symphonic metal with coldwave industrial electronica, certain to appeal to fans of bands such as Fear Factory, Rammstein, Ministry, and early Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails. The song "Play Dead" is a Bjork cover, "Zombie Slam", "Nailed To The ground", "B**ch", and "Computur God" are potential dance hits for the industrial nightclubs, and the song "Just Think Again" is an emotionally charged anthem to the world's starvation epidemic. The totality of the album is a five star effort and a must have for fans of hard-pounding, guitar-heavy, industrial metal with intelligent lyrics. Below are some of the lyrics, I would have included some other songs here but PAIN uses explicit lyrics so I picked out a few non explicit examples.
Lyrics taken from the song "Computur God":
Computerized technoligy
Wipes Out all your enemies
Digital world controls
A dying analogue blasphemy
Distorted codes in your DNA
Passwords running through your veins
Our brain cells overwon
By the zeroes and the ones
This is the end of huamnity - thrill me, kill me
Computur God is the enemey - decieve me, delete me
There is no lord that will set us free - thrill me, kill me
Lyrics taken from the song "Nailed To The Ground":
Nothing in life is for free, everything has it's price
You start to pay when you're born until the day you die
They turn you into a machine and keep you in the line
If you fall out of their path they will come after you
I don't believe in God or destiny
I always lived my life with one foot into the grave
The world is cruel and filled with enemies
I take my chances cause I know my life won't go anywhere
Lyrics from the song "Psalms Of Extinction":
Why do we have to live in fear?
The Future's looking dark
Noone seems to care

EXCELLENT RELEASE by Nexus05 (MD, USA) 5 Stars
June 21, 2007
I agree with the first reviewer falzano, sums up what i think too in all honesty. Peter tagtgren really makes an album more industrial than previouse works, its more original to the genre. Not to degrade his other works, every release is awesome, memorable songs, but this one, hits the jackpot, cant wait for his next release!! worth every penny, you love industrial GET THIS ALBUM!!!!!
