Pain (typeset as PAIN) is a musical project from Sweden that mix heavy metal with influences from electronic music and techno. The project started out as a hobby project for front man Peter Tägtgren, whose idea was to fuse heavy metal with 1980s-inspired electro-industrial and techno influences. Tägtgren, who is also the vocalist/guitarist of Hypocrisy and producer of his own The Abyss studios, is the only current member. He has mentioned his influence to start the project was Fear Factory's 1992 album Soul of a New Machine. Pain's self titled debut was released in 1997, and since then Pain has released five more albums and a DVD. Starting with their second, all of Pain's albums have made the Swedish charts, thanks in large part to hit singles such as "End of the Line", "Shut Your Mouth", and "Same Old Song". In early February 2006, Blabbermouth.net reported that Pain had signed with Roadrunner Records. Currently, Pain is under the Nuclear Blast Records banner. In 2008, Pain was on tour as a supporting performer for the Finnish symphonic power metal band Nightwish. During this tour singer Peter Tägtgren, drummer David Wallin and bassist Johan Husgafvel were assaulted by a gang in Leipzig. Peter received 10 stitches in his face, David suffered a concussion and stitches to his head, Johan had his nose broken.

Distinguished translator, acclaimed vocalist and musician Haleh Liza Gafori reads her inspired, widely praised interpretations of Rumi, considered the greatest poet of the Persian language. Written some 800 years ago, Rumi’s lyrical poetry continues to provide solace and guidance when we revisit it in our contemporary moment. Transcending national borders and ethnic divisions, cultural conventions and religious sectarianism, Rumi’s vision is of a world governed by universal love, compassion and collectivity. His masterworks of world literature have been widely translated into many languages and formats, and there are few today who have not encountered some paraphrases of his prophetic compositions. We are pleased to welcome Haleh Liza Gafori, joining us for a live reading drawn from her acclaimed volumes of translations of Rumi’s verse: GOLD (2022) and WATER (2025). Whether Rumi confesses, critiques, praises, nudges or commands, his startling voice and leaps of imagery dazzle and ring with enduring urgency; and Gafori’s special presentation uplifts these propulsive messages of human liberation. Presented by Bold Tendencies. All ages.
