About 59 Times the Pain

59 Times the Pain was a Swedish hardcore punk band. They were active from 1992 until 2001. The band was formed in Fagersta, Sweden in 1992 by Magnus Larnhed (Vocals / guitar), Michael Conradsson (bass), Toni Virtanen (drums) and Kai Kalliomäki (guitar). Their bandname is taken from a Hüsker Dü song. Kalliomäki soon left the band to be replaced by Niklas Lundgren, who left hardcore band "Dislars" later to become the more known Burst. Their first demo "Feeling Down" got some attention from Burning Heart Records, and in 1993, the band signed to the label. The following year the band recorded their debut album Blind Anger & Hate. In March 1995, 59 Times the Pain started recording their second full-length album, More Out of Today at Unisound. The underground success of More Out of Today and the debut single "Blind Anger & Hate" allowed 59 Times the Pain to establish themselves as a successful band. They did this through extensive touring, with their shows gaining excellent reviews. Their fourth album, End of the Millennium, was released in March 1999 with their fifth (and final) album, Calling The Public, released in 2001. The band also had songs included on several compilations, including 1999's Short Music for Short People and Punk-O-Rama Vol. 4. The band split in 2001. On January 30, 2008 they announced that they were reforming to play Groezrock festival.

The most intense of burning hells
Blasting expectations into smithereens
Never feeling normal, can't accept the truth
Resign myself to hating it, I hate it all

I cannot say that I don't like it
Because the words won't come out right
All I feel is bitter and it won't make it better

59 times the pain, I could never be like you
59 times the pain, I could never be with you
59 times the pain

Never figured out eating 3 meals a day
When the people sit in their broken-down homes
Look at the photos from different eras gone by
Shows the changes and I hate them all

Can't say that I don't like it
Because the words won't come out right
All I feel is bitter and it won't make it better

59 times the pain, I could never be like you
59 times the pain, I could never be with you
59 times the pain

Don't want to live with myself
Can't live with what goes on
All I see is the humiliation
I wish it was gone

Can't say that I don't like it
Because the words won't come out right
All I feel is bitter and it won't make it better

59 times the pain, I could never be like you
59 times the pain, I could never be with you
59 times the pain

59 times the pain, I could never be like you
59 times the pain, I could never be with you
59 times the pain
