Peter Tägtgren reveals what Pain has planned for the next months

Following the release of the band’s most recent single, “I Don’t Give A Fukk” via Reigning Phoenix Music, Peter Těgren of long-running Swedish industrial metallers Pain discussed his ambitions for new Pain music in a recent interview with the And Now The Band podcast, as per Blabbermouth.

In a couple of months there will be another video and another song, and I think it’s gonna feature a guest maybe. And that’s how it’s gonna look like for the next year. Every two months there will be a video and single, except in the silly seasons where I’ll fuck up. Nothing in December, because that’s impossible. Mariah Carey’s occupying the, the wavelines.

We have, like, five more singles that I know of that’s gonna go out, and I hope everything is gonna go right, because it’s not only up to me. I have a lot of people involved now. So it’s not only my will. But it looks like it’s gonna be pretty cool, like [release a new single] every second month.

I don’t know if these will feature on the [next PAIN] album yet. Maybe they are all standalone. They will feature other people on there as well. And every song sounds really different from the other one, so it’s pretty cool.

Peter mentioned how the new Pain songs sound so different from one another.

I really love it. I kind of adapt to things. I mean, if I hear something, it doesn’t have to be a metal song or anything, if I hear a cool rhythm or a cool melody, it gets into my mind and then I try to do my own version of it, kind of, sometimes, if I hear something cool. But with this, ‘I Don’t Give A Fukk’, I came up with when I was on my way into the shower, because I was watching the news and I was, like, ‘I don’t give a fuck anymore.’ So there it is. And it was just stuck.

So I had to develop that. The tricky part was the verses because I’m not a talk singer or a rapper or whatever you wanna call it. So that was the most weird shit. And also I had to write different kind of words than I normally use because here it had to be more sharp and more attack in them a little bit; otherwise it gets too muddy. And I had to open my mouth when I speak. So it was a little tricky in the beginning because I wanted to have someone else guesting, doing the verses, but, yeah, I couldn’t get it any time so I decided, ‘Okay, fuck it. I’ll do it myself.’ And I tried to pardon myself with the video that someone else is forcing me to do it.
