Phantom Pain is a metalcore band from Finland. We formed this band in 2004 and since that we've been kicking ass.
Why this name?
It sounded cool
Do you play live?
Yeah we love playing live, it's the best part in the whole business. We play everywhere where they let us play. If you let us play in your backyard, we'll play. A Very Special moment was when we played in front 500+ people in our hometown's biggest summer concert. It was just fantastic
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Yeah of course it does. these kinda pages where unsigned bands can upload their demos are good way to promote unknown bands. but big bands like Metallica they lose money because of mp3 piracy.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yeah, if they'd give us money and make us superstars, haha.
