History

[edit | edit source]

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. Other members of the original lineup were Tuomas Holopainen, Lauri Tuohimaa, Olli-Pekka Törrö and Juha Kylmänen. 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]

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] They released the single, "Recoil into Darkness", on 12 April 2024.[4] On 13 October 2025, the band announced their second studio album Buried Blue to be released on 9 January 2026, their first album in 23 years.[5]
