Band Information
Paindivision is a straight ahead heavy metal band that was formed in late 2005 by Dungeon guitarist Stu Marshall, shortly before his former band folded. Dungeon/LORD drummer Tim Yatras was also a member briefly but later joined LORD full-time. Before their first show in December 2005, the band changed name to 20 Grams, citing a move away from heavy metal to melodic hard rock. One time Harlots member and Hair of the Dog singer Jordan Howe replaced the original vocalist and in mid-2006 20 Grams supported Black Label Society in Sydney before reverting to the name Paindivision in November, apparently due to a shift back to heavier material.
After scoring a deal with Riot!, the band's album was released in mid-2007 and followed up shortly after by a Japanese tour. In November, Marshall issued a solo album called Altered States.
In February 2008 they opened for Helloween in Sydney. After this the band began work on a second album; Ray Martens departed Paindivision in May 2008. The band's album One Path was released in October. After its release, Mark Hobson from This World joined the line-up and Joe Rahme was replaced by former DragonForce, Marshall Law and Razor of Occam drummer Pete Hunt. Jordan Howe left the band immediately before their performance with Death Angel and Armored Saint in Sydney in March 2009. This show was completed with a stand-in; Dan Quinlan then took over the vocal role. Marshall released an album under the name Empires of Eden in mid-09. In August Hobson left the band to live overseas and was replaced by Ben Thomas of Thundasteel and Quinlan also joined The Amenta. Paindivision seems to have fallen by the wayside as Marshall concentrates on Empires of Eden and a new band called Death Dealer featuring ex-Manowar guitarist Ross the Boss.
