59 Times the Pain was a hardcore punk group from Sweden, active between 1992 and 2001.
Originating in Fagersta, Sweden, the lineup featured Magnus Larnhed on vocals and guitar, Michael Conradsson handling bass duties, Toni Virtanen on drums, and originally Kai Kalliomäki on guitar, who was shortly succeeded by Niklas Lundgren. The band took its name from a track by Hüsker Dü. Their initial demo, titled "Feeling Down," garnered interest from Burning Heart Records, resulting in a contract in 1993 and the release of their debut album Blind Anger & Hate in 1994.
In March 1995, the band recorded their sophomore album More Out of Today at Unisound Studios. This release, along with the single "Blind Anger & Hate," achieved notable underground acclaim, bolstered by extensive touring and favorable critical reception.
The group’s fourth studio effort, End of the Millennium, came out in 1999, followed by their fifth and concluding album, Calling The Public, released in 2001. They also contributed to compilations such as Short Music for Short People and Punk-O-Rama Vol. 4 in 1999. Although they disbanded in 2001, they briefly reunited for a performance at the Groezrock festival in 2008.
