Under the leadership of Timo Solonen, GRAIN OF PAIN’s musical style is a potent fusion of dark, emotional melodies and powerful, guttural vocals. The band’s lineup features a stellar cast of musicians, with Timo Solonen at the helm, showcasing his skills not only as a composer but also contributing growls and guitars. Joining him are Juho Räihä on guitars, Lars Eikind on bass and clean vocals, Juuso Raatikainen on drums, and Sini Pajunen lending her captivating vocals to the mix. Taka Eliel adds backing growls to enrich the band’s gloomy sound.
GRAIN OF PAIN’s sound is characterized by its intense emotional depth and draws inspiration from a variety of influences to create a unique blend of dark atmospheres and powerful melodies. The band’s dedication to their craft has not gone unnoticed, with Lars Eikind securing the prestigious Spellemannsprisen award in Norway, and both Juho Räihä and Juuso Raatikainen receiving nominations for a Finnish Grammy alongside Swallow the Sun.
