Biography
Realizing that Finnish rock fans were experiencing a sudden love affair with commercially savvy goth metal bands such as H.I.M., Entwine, and To/Die/For, a group of opportunistic veterans from the regional extreme metal scene decided to focus their energies on what was previously just a side project called For My Pain.... Featuring guitarist Olli-Pekka Törrö, bassist Altti Veteläinen, and drummer Petri Sankala of Eternal Tears of Sorrow, keyboardist Tuomas Holopainen from Nightwish, guitarist Lauri Tuohimaa of Charon, and Reflexion vocalist Juha Kylmänen, For My Pain... made their debut with 2003's Fallen album, released through Finland's own Spinefarm Records. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide| Discography: For My Pain... |

History
The birth of FMP (1999–2001)
The idea of For My Pain... started in 1999, when Altti Veteläinen (bass) and Petri Sankala (drums), both from Eternal Tears of Sorrow, wanted to start a new project. They asked two old friends, Tuomas Holopainen (keyboards, Nightwish) and Lauri Tuohimaa (guitars, Charon and Embraze), to join. Everyone was interested in the project, but as everyone was too busy, the project was postponed to the future.
Fallen (2001–2006)
A few years later the idea came up again, this time with a better timing since both Eternal Tears of Sorrow and Nightwish were having breaks. Two new members were asked to join, Oli-Pekka Törrö (guitars, Eternal Tears of Sorrow) and Juha Kylmänen (vocals, Reflexion), and the band started recording their debut album in 2001.
For My Pain...’s debut album “Fallen” was released in 2003, and followed in 2004 by a single with three new songs, “Killing Romance". Since then, the band has had a hiatus.
New album (2007–)
In 2007 the band announced that they would release a successor to Fallen the same fall, but in October they announced that it would have to be postponed once again.
