Pain Division was formed in late 2005 by [[Dungeon]] guitarist Marshall, shortly before his former band folded. '''Dungeon'''/[[LORD]] drummer Yatras was also a member briefly but later joined '''LORD''' full-time.

Paindivision was formed in late 2005 by Dungeon guitarist Marshall, shortly before his former band folded. Dungeon/LORD drummer 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 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.
