Pain – ‘Coming Home’ CD

‘Coming Home’ is the eighth studio album by the Swedish industrial metal project Pain.

When it comes to guest musicians, ‘Coming Home’ rolls out a red carpet: On drums, Peter’s 17-year-old son Sebastian Tägtgren delivers an impressive guest appearance and for the song ‘Call Me’, Sabaton’s Joakim Brodén joins the team for some typically raw warrior vocals.

But a Pain release would not be a typical masterpiece without some enthralling lyrics and fascinating topics: On the callboy-singalong ‘Call Me’ or ‘Final Crusade’, the band crawl through the deepest corners of society and the human mind, while ‘Absinthe-Phoenix Rising’ is based upon an incident in Leipzig during Pain’s tour with Nightwish, where the band were attacked and beat up after leaving an Absinthe bar.
