For the first three years Morbid Pain played their indie brand of death metal at local venues in Yamachiche, Louiseville, Fortierville, Sherbrooke, St-Paulin, Ste-Sophie-de-Lévrard and Montreal, Quebec, Canada; the most noted being their yearly Halloween ritual that occurred for over 8 years, organized by Joël Doucet (of Maledivine).
