For My Pain... – Buried Blue CD

For My Pain... – Buried Blue

6-sleeve digipack, 16p booklet

For My Pain... is a Finnish gothic metal band formed in the early 2000s as a collaboration among experienced musicians from well-known groups in the Finnish metal scene. From the beginning, the band was labeled a supergroup due to its members’ backgrounds in acts such as Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Embraze, Charon, Kalmah and other influential Finnish bands. The early line-up also included Tuomas Holopainen (Nightwish) and Petri Sankala (ex-Eternal Tears of Sorrow, ex- Kalmah), which further strengthened that reputation.

The band released its debut album, Fallen, in 2003 via Spinefarm Records/Universal Music. Its melodic gothic atmosphere and emotional songwriting gained attention all over the world. After the following release, Killing Romance EP (2004), the band entered a long period of inactivity as its members continued with their other musical projects.

Now, more than two decades later, For My Pain... returns with new music. The band’s second studio album, “Buried Blue,” will be released on January 9th, 2026. The album marks an important milestone—continuing the group’s original sound while bringing Northern melancholy to a new level. The material reflects the band’s musical growth and the long journey between the two records.

The continued support from fans around the world played a significant role in bringing For My Pain... back to life. The band’s return is both a response to that lasting enthusiasm and a natural next step for the musicians involved. With Buried Blue, For My Pain... re-enters the international music scene—continuing the work they began over 20 years ago and offering a long-awaited follow-up to their debut.
