PAIN IS was founded in Austria in 2002 by singer Jerome Jaw.
With their debut album "Here come the Pain" in 2003 the band explored their own way of making music. To create something special they combined their various metal influences and took their first steps as a band. With this first creation in their pocket they also began playing live shows throughout Austria.
After two more albums (2005's "Painic" and 2009's "Painback"), the 2012 album "God Particle" was released on the international label Noisehead Records, marking a milestone in their history.
In May 2016, Pain Is was crowned the winner of WACKEN METAL BATTLE AUSTRIA and had the opportunity to play in the finals of the 2016 WACKEN OPEN AIR FESTIVAL.
On the hallowed ground of Wacken, they finally won one of the five WACKEN METAL BATTLE GLOBAL WINNER AWARDS against 27 worldwide competitors. Pain Is finally earned the respect and recognition they had worked for so many years.
From 2017 to 2019, the band toured increasingly large festivals such as WACKEN, Nova Rock, Donauinsel Festival, and more.
Following the release of their self-titled album "PAIN IS" in 2019, which received incredibly positive feedback from the worldwide press and media, Pain Is released their current album "Cot4" in 2023.
Their 21st anniversary tour will take them throughout Europe well into 2025 – and also conquer other regions worldwide. The stages of the world are their home, music their power – so come and experience the Core of the 4 live!!
