| Innovation, or lack of talent disguised as such. Conjure your own decision. Deriving influence from music, as well as life itself, Mortal Pain utilizes any method desired to accomplish the task of assembling the bastardized audio known as song. Brought to fruition in 1996, the group has solidified itself as an unstoppable powerhouse, creating its distinct sound and attracting the attention of fans and fellow artists worldwide. Mortal Pain's first live performance took place in June of 2004, as the band shared the stage with legendary industrial pioneers KMFDM; a group partly responsible for the incarnation and ultimate sound of Mortal Pain. The group's dynamic changed due to John's 2003 conversion of faith, however, the sound and subject matter has remained the same. Resonant Minds:
