Pain have put out live footage of I Don't Give A Fukk, filmed at Full Metal Holiday in Mallorca, and Peter Tagtgren is unusually candid about the circumstances.
"We didn't play for a while, and we didn't have a chance to practice as a band before," he says, "but I think we got away with it. And premier the new song live. It was hot and great time."
Playing an unreleased song in front of a festival audience with no rehearsal is either confidence or indifference, and with this band it has usually been both. The song itself is three minutes long and built around a refrain that does not need explaining, with the grinding guitars and the electronic pulse that have been the house sound since the nineties.
The studio video that came first has Peter Stormare in it, the actor from Fargo and The Big Lebowski and the second John Wick, which is the sort of casting this band go in for and get away with. Tagtgren produced half of Swedish extreme metal from a studio in Ludvika and has been running Pain alongside Hypocrisy for thirty years.
