	The idea of For My Pain... started in 1999, when Altti Veteläinen and Petri Sankala, both from [[Eternal Tears of Sorrow]], wanted to start a new project. ~~They asked two old friends,~~ [[Tuomas Holopainen]] ~~and~~ [[Lauri Tuohimaa]], ~~to join~~. ~~All parties were interested~~, ~~but as everyone was too busy~~, the ~~project was postponed~~.{{~~fact~~\|date=~~January 2024~~}}		The idea of For My Pain... started in 1999, when Altti Veteläinen and Petri Sankala, both from [[Eternal Tears of Sorrow]], wanted to start a new project. Other members of the original lineup were [[Tuomas Holopainen]], [[Lauri Tuohimaa]], Olli-Pekka Törrö and [[Juha Kylmänen]]. For My Pain...'s debut album ''Fallen'' was released in 2003. Finnish music magazine ''Soundi'' gave the album three out of five stars.<ref>{{Cite web \|last=Säynekoski \|first=Marko \|date=16 June 2007 \|title=FOR MY PAIN: Fallen \|url=https://www.soundi.fi/levyarviot/my-pain-fallen/ \|access-date=10 October 2020 \|website=Soundi.fi \|language=fi}}</ref> In 2004, the band released a single, "Killing Romance", which peaked at number seven on the [[Suomen virallinen lista\|official Finnish single chart]].<ref>{{Cite web \|title=Suomen Virallinen Lista \|url=https://www.ifpi.fi/lista/artistit/for+my+pain.../killing+romance/ \|access-date=10 October 2020 \|website=Musiikkituottajat \|language=fi-FI}}</ref>
