About Me


Engine of Pain is endorsed and powered by Jackson Guitars USA
BiographyENGINE OF PAIN is a metalband from the South of the Netherlands. The band is founded in May, 2003.
Nowadays the band plays a mixture of different types of metal; just think about Pantera, Forbidden, Iron Maiden, Annihilator, Testament...Melodic and tight riffing guitars, pounding drums and powerful clean vocals....you know what we are talking about! :)
ENGINE OF PAIN is basically formed by Maurice Brouwers and Patrick Waltmans . From the beginning it was clear that the music should be groovy but very heavy.
Few weeks later Patrick and Maurice decided to ask ex-Form/ex-Fifth grunter Nick Hameury , if he'd like to join the new band; one of the best Dutch grunters was in!
Maurice checked if ex-After Forever drummer Joep Beckers was interested to do the drums. The foundation was established...From the moment Joep joined in, a bandname was found:
Engine of Pain .Several months after Engine of Pain was founded, Nick encountered Ruud (ex-Defcon One) . Ruud was the right person to complete the band and his inventive soloing and riffs pulled the band up to a higher level.
ENGINE OF PAIN recorded a MCDemo in February 2004 titled Here is the Pain!.
Thanks to this MCDemo the Wacken Open Air organisation decided to invite the band to play at WACKEN OPEN AIR (15th anniversary): one of the largest metal festivals of the world with 43.000 visitors that year.
That same year ENGINE OF PAIN played the final of the well known Dutch band competition Jägermeister / Aardschok METAL BASH.
Also Patrick was asked to be Dean Guitars Artist. In October 2005 the band started to plan and implement their next step: recording a professional full length album including artwork. The result is a very tight, hard, aggressive, powerful and melodic album with strong, cool and contemplated lyrics and ditto artwork. Its called I Am Your Enemy and is released by Lion Music on 26th of January 2007.
Beginning of December 2006 the band enlisted guitarist Bastiaan Kuiper ( Stormrider, Symbolic).
In July 2007, Nick Hameury left the band due to his immigration to Spain.
August 2007 Rogier Stockbroeks (a.k.a. Stocky) joined the band.
Nowadayz, the band is very busy writing some new songs for their 2nd album which will be released mid 2008.
