On Wednesday evening Swedish metallers Pain returned to Finland with three shows; one in Tampere, one in Seinäjoki and one in Helsinki. The band who just released their new album I AM really brought the energy and comedy to the dark autumn night in Helsinki.
The opening act for the evening was also from Sweden, melodic metal newcomers Metalite. The band really seemed to have fun on stage didn´t take themselves too seriously which made them fun to watch. Metalite´s sharp a bit over 35min set was short but it surely warmed up the stage for the legendary Pain.
Show started with the classic Same Old Song following with the newer classic I´m Going In.
It´s always great to see a Pain show as you immediately know that their going to deliver a great show with their long experience making the show perfectly polished closed to perfection. Songs like End Of The Line, The Great Pretender and Party In My Head got the crowd moving and singing. During the last song Shut Your Mouth there was also an alien on stage hyping up the crowd for the one last time.
Overall the evening was great and the light show Pain brought the Finland was really cool. However their last visit in Tavastia one year ago was a bit more captivating with the huge LED screens in the back with different animated videos rolling through the show. It´s still good to have some old school backdrop+lights+tight playing type of shows every now and then though.
