Pain lands is the term that typically refer to the land cycles first printed in Ice Age and Apocalypse. However the term can be applied to every land, which deal "pain" damage to you every time you tap it for colored mana.
Original pain lands
The lands providing allied colors were printed originally in Ice Age, those providing enemy colors in Apocalypse. These lands were first referred to as pain lands, even though City of Brass was printed earlier. The former were reprinted in 5th Edition, 6th Edition, and 7th Edition, the latter in Magic 2015 and Magic Origins. The complete cycle of ten lands were reprinted in 9th Edition and 10th Edition.
They provide two different colors of mana for 1 damage, but can also be tapped for colorless mana without taking damage.
