Swedish metallers PAIN, who are led by HYPOCRISY mainman Peter Tägtgren, are working on the follow-up to 2008’s “Cynic Paradise”. NIGHTWISH singer Anette Olzon, who also happens to be the girlfriend of PAIN bassist Johan Husgafvel, writes on her official blog that Tägtgren is putting the finishing touches on the new CD this week.

“The album will be out approximately in June,” she says, “and so far I have listened to seven of the songs and they are really good! The new songs are more aggressive, faster tempo and also include new elements they haven’t used before. A more ‘dark’ album in the lyrics and also in his way of singing. One song is more like HYPOCRISY, so if you like that you’ll have that one as a favorite.”

She adds, “When I first heard the songs I thought it was quite different from the last album and it is. The more I listen to the songs the more I like them and I think it will be a great one! I can see them do their famous headspins live to this album, too.”

“Monkey Business”, the latest video from PAIN, can be viewed below. The clip was shot at the band’s aforementioned March 2009 shows in Paris.
