Pain of Salvation

Pain of Salvation shrugs off many easy metal clichés, as the Swedish band is so capable of high-flying compositions. Above all, Pain of Salvation stands out for the darkness of its climates, born of music that is more obsessive and sickly than rhythmically violent. Since 1997's Entropia, Daniel Gildenlöw's men have excelled in industrial-progressive metal. 2002's Remedy Lane is a genuine success, and 2007's Scarsik is equally talented. The ever-conceptual Pain of Salvation releasesRoad Salt One in May 2010 and its follow-up Road SaltTwo in October 2011. The band then underwent various personnel changes before the 2014 release of Falling Home, but found serenity and stability again when it came to conceiving its tenth album, In the Passing Light of Day, released in 2017.
