Biography

The band was founded in 2003 by Olivier (songwriter) and Cédric (keyboards). (The band identifies its members only by their first name.) Several months later, Laurent (vocals) and Stéphane (guitar) joined the band. In July 2009 Stéphane left the band, and Nicolas (keyboards in live performance) joined. Olivier continued to play keyboards in the studio, but switched to the guitar on stage.

In early 2005, the band released its first album on Urgence Disk, a Swiss record label.[1]

Dolls of Pain has performed throughout Europe since 2003 (France, Germany, England, Switzerland, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands).

The band released three albums on Urgence Disk and three remix compilations produced by Auto-Restriction Production (ARP) and released as free downloads. Subsequently, then signed with the Hungarian record label Advoxya Records.[2]

The band has released remixes of other dark electro groups such as Miss Construction, HausHetaere and Bak XIII.[3]

The band has performed at music festivals including Gothic Family Festival (Germany), Dungeon Open Air Festival (Germany) and Gothic Festival (Belgium), and on 30 May 2009 at Wave-Gotik-Treffen (WGT) in Leipzig. It is scheduled to perform at the Energy Open Air festival in Cherkasy, Ukraine on 14 July 2012.
