Pain Generator is the solo Industrial and Harsh noise project of John Cross.
History[edit]
Pain Generator was created in 2006, originally under the name "Grain Shifter" and released a compilation album with prolific Japanese cyberpunk author, Kenji Siratori. The first official album 'Disgusted With Myself' was released in December 2014, after which the project played a number of live guerilla style shows before finally performing at it's first real venue as "Pain Generator" in 2018 at Fallout in Richmond, Virginia. After a nearly four year break from live performances, Pain Generator returned in 2022 to open for Dawn of Ashes, again at Fallout.
Harsh Noise Phase[edit]
While some tracks could be categorized as dark ambient or drone, the vast majority of early Pain Generator would be considered Harsh noise or Power Electronics.
Power Noise Phase[edit]
The album "this is not for you" featured the first song with a focused use of rhythm and drums in 'A face in a cloud, no trace in the crowd' while the album "YOUR PAIN IS MY PLEASURE" showed more signs of hard hitting drums and a shift towards a Power Noise style.
