"Painkiller" is the third album made by the heavy metal and hard rock band Krokus. It was recorded at Manor Studios, Oxford, England, and took just six days to produce [ [http://krokusonline.seven49.net/seven49.asp?IDCMainActiv=4788&CathActiv1=138&CathActiv2=676&IDCMainQueue= KROKUS ONLINE - official homepage - Discography - PAINKILLER ] ] .

It should not be mixed up with the Judas Priest album with the same name. Perhaps ironically, Judas Priest's Rob Halford actually sang backing vocals on at least one Krokus song.
