The idea of For My Pain... started in 1999, when Altti Veteläinen and Petri Sankala, both from
Eternal Tears of Sorrow, wanted to start a new project. Other members of the original lineup were
Tuomas Holopainen,
Lauri Tuohimaa, Olli-Pekka Törrö and
Juha Kylmänen. For My Pain...'s debut album
Fallen was released in 2003. Finnish music magazine
Soundi gave the album three out of five stars. In 2004, the band released a single, "Killing Romance", which peaked at number seven on the
official Finnish single chart. On 13 December 2023, the band announced their reunion, alongside a show planned for 3 May 2024, and the promise of new music in 2024. They released the single, "Recoil into Darkness", on 12 April 2024. On 13 October 2025, the band announced their second studio album
Buried Blue to be released on 9 January 2026, their first album in 23 years. == Band members ==
