For My Pain…, a gothic metal supergroup formed in the whirlwind of the metal scene at the turn of the millennium, has made a spectacular return to the music scene. The band has announced that they will release a new album this year, which has so far yielded the singles Recoil Into Darkness and WitchBitch Elite. In between, they also released a special interlude single – the band’s version of Tehosekoittim’s legendary hit Hetken Tie On Kevyt.
Now, however, it’s time to turn our attention back to the new single Time Will Heal Our Wounds, whose roots go back to 2004 and singer Juha Kylmänen’s student days.
“The composer of the single Time Will Heal Our Wounds is an exceptional artist from outside the band. The song was composed by Samu Wuori and the composition was already made twenty years ago. The song was created during my music studies, when we were classmates with Samu. He heard our newly released Fallen album and was inspired to compose the song, which turned out to be a perfect fit for For My Pain,” Kylmänen recalls, and continues:
“I wrote the lyrics and vocal melodies for the song myself. We recorded a demo of it at the Salpausen School studio in Orimattila. The song was included in For My Pain’s live set, but after that it remained in a drawer and was never officially released. Now that the band has become active again, we dug this unreleased gem back into the light of day.”

For My Pain…’s debut album Fallen was released worldwide in 2003 by Spinefarm Records/Universal Music and received a very positive reception both in Finland and internationally. The album quickly became a classic of its genre, with the most famous songs being Autumn Harmony, Dancer in the Dark and Rapture of Lust. A year later, a 3-song EP Killing Romance was released, which was the last release of the then line-up before the project fell into the shadows of the past in 2005. The band members were previously known from bands such as Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Nightwish, Embraze, Kalmah, Charon and Reflexion.
Samu Wuori is a composer, sound producer and multi-instrumentalist from Vantaa. He has toured and made music with some of Finland’s top artists during his career. The most notable of these has been the supergroup GG Caravan.
