"Pain as you may well know is Peter T?gtgren's Industrial Metal side project. Peter is the lead vocalist and guitarist of well known Death Metal band Hypocrisy, a superb band with powerful songs and disturbing atmosphere. In contrast to Hypocrisy, Pain is focused more upon the melody over aggression. Peter no longer sings in grunted snarls, instead he sings normally but still with that trademark attitude people have grown to love. Pain is an excellent band that delivers the goods. They're still loud, pissed off, yet full of melody and atmosphere due to their masterful mixing of techno and brutal metal. Pain is different however when compared to other metal acts, their sound is very high pitched and resonates well. Very unique sound. Rebirth is a gem of an album that doesn't let up the brutality. Every song has its own unique blend of sound and the entire album is enjoyable. With ear shattering songs such as 'End of the Line' and 'Suicide Machine', Rebirth is definitely an album I recommend to fans of Industrial Metal. It's one of those rare albums that utilize your loud speakers to their fullest capacity. A great album for the ladies aswell, as they tend to get off on this sound like rapid fire. Naughty girls! Get this album folks it's a gem."

Something for all "Hard Rock or Metal" fans..

"Even though I've only known of the existance of Peter Tagtgren (lead singer of Hypocrisy, and Pain, and Metal album producer.) for just over two years now, I've become a devout fan of his work thanks to his truly unique sound. Like his other work with "Pain", the tracks on this album are a mixture of dark, almost hypnotizing "Gothesque" (Is that a word?) melodies, and hard and heavy skull-slamming metal. Tagtgren delivers the unique blend of pitch, that any fans of Pain recognize, on this album, and, like Mr. Zombie says, if you're a fan of dark industrial metal, you need a copy of this in your collection! If not for yourself, then for the sake of keeping Tagtgren's metal coming to those of us that love it!"
