PAIN: Back Home From Russia

December 9, 2008

Swedish metallers PAIN have issued the following update:

"It's been a few days since we got back home from Russia and Ukraine and our bodies are starting to heal from all the cuts and bruises we managed to get while we weren't on stage. We had a really good time on all shows and it was really great to finally try some more of the new stuff with such a good audience. Now we're going to rest over the Christmas and then focus on the European Cynic Campaign that starts in late January. As we earlier mentioned David [Wallin, drums] can't tour in January. His replacement will be Tomas Lindgren from 8TH SIN."

"Follow Me", the new video from PAIN, can be viewed below. The clip, which was shot last month, features a special guest appearance by NIGHTWISH singer Anette Olzon. The performance footage in the video was filmed during PAIN's October 9, 2008 concert at Tavastia in Helsinki, Finland.

"Follow Me" is the first single off PAIN's new album, "Cynic Paradise", which was released in Germany on October 31 via Nuclear Blast Records. The follow-up to "Psalms of Extinction" (which was released in 2007 via Roadrunner) features "eleven gems offering a vast variety of styles and influences which are even new for PAIN," according to a press release. Anette Olzon makes a guest appearance on two tracks — "Follow Me" and "Feed Us". The artwork was created by renowned artist Travis Smith (AMORPHIS, OPETH, NEVERMORE).
