Pain Killer, formed in 1991, includes <a href="spotify:artist:3gkJ7lXtLpE4KauFHpk2vK">John Zorn</a> (b. 1953, New York, NY) on alto sax, <a href="spotify:artist:5RISqKCcrhGITX2TQAPGPL">Bill Laswell</a> (b. 1950) on bass, and onetime <a href="spotify:artist:3UqRgrDIQ208yNGiWKRMNt">Napalm Death</a> drummer <a href="spotify:artist:3LQ6aBKxUDVOsSjrzaNVde">Mick Harris</a>. <a href="spotify:artist:3gkJ7lXtLpE4KauFHpk2vK">Zorn</a> is a well-known bebop and free jazz artist, while <a href="spotify:artist:5RISqKCcrhGITX2TQAPGPL">Laswell</a> has played free jazz with several groups and produced albums for jazz, metal, alternative, and pop artists; both are very active on the New York City avant-garde jazz scene. Pain Killer grew out of <a href="spotify:artist:3gkJ7lXtLpE4KauFHpk2vK">Zorn</a>'s admiration for death-metal/grindcore groups like <a href="spotify:artist:3UqRgrDIQ208yNGiWKRMNt">Napalm Death</a>, whom he praised as having the same intensity as 1960s free jazz; the music is a unique and challenging hybrid of the two. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi
