Pain of Salvation – Announce new studio album “In the Passing Light of Day”


Swedish progressive rock/metal innovators Pain of Salvation have announced the worldwide release of their long-awaited new studio album ‘In the Passing Light of Day’ for Friday the 13th of January, 2017 via their longtime label partners InsideOutMusic.

Working together with acclaimed producer Daniel Bergstrand (In Flames, Meshuggah, Strapping Young Lad, etc.) at Dugout Studio in Sweden, the band have crafted an album that sees them returning to their much praised heavier sound, featuring the syncopated rhythms, glorious melodies, and intensely personal themes that Pain of Salvation fans have long loved about the band.

Inextricably linked to the near fatal illness that band-leader Daniel Gildenlöw spent much of the first half of 2014 recovering from, the album is an altogether darker and more impassioned journey. Taking the hospital bed as a narrative hub, the lyrical and musical themes touch on all the conflicting feelings that run through a person’s mind when presented with the prospect of death and the passing of life.

Gildenlöw comments: “What started off as an annoying infection has, in just hours, suddenly pivoted into the very real possibility of my actual dying.” That’s not to say, however, that all this record presents is blackness. “This album also shows the beauty of the transition, of the inevitable. And of the hope of a tomorrow, the hope of change, no matter how frail and naive that hope may be.”

In the past 6 years since the release of ‘Road Salt Two’, fans hope for new Pain of Salvation output has truly been tested. But their perseverance, as well as that of Daniel Gildenlöw and his band, has been rewarded with perhaps the most stunning album of their career.

The album will be available as a special edition 2CD Mediabook (including expanded 48-pages booklet, several in-depth texts by conceptual author Daniel Gildenlöw, demo material & band commentary tracks), standard jewelcase CD, gatefold 180g 2LP vinyl plus album on CD as bonus & digital download.

Earlier this year Pain of Salvation released a special reissue of their classic 2002 album “Remedy Lane” entitled “Remedy Lane Re:visited (Re:mixed & Re:lived)”. Combining a remix of the original album by mixing engineer wizard Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios (Opeth, Symphony X, Devin Townsend, Haken, etc.), as well as an intense full-album live performance from Prog Power USA from 2014, this package presents an ultimate version of the much loved record.

Sehr gutes Teil. Grandiose Mischung aus ihren Anfängen und den Road Salt-Alben (Songwriting und Sound).

In der Prog-Szene gibt es wohl gerade eine Bewegung der Rückbesinnung: Pineapple Thief kehren mit "Your Wilderness" nach ihrem Pop-Ausflug zum Artrock/Prog zurück, Pain of Salvation haben mit "In the Passing Day of Light" ihr Blues/Hardrock-Experiment endlich beendet, Devin Townsend lässt mit "Transcendence" auch endlich seine Versuche, seinen Sound mainstreamtauglicher zu machen. Jetzt muss nur noch Phideaux's "Infernal" nach seiner Rückbesinnung von den Live-Band-Eskarpaden zurück zum One-Man-Studio-Projekt so gut werden wie "Doomsday Afternoon", dann bin ich bereit zu sagen: Wir haben ein neues goldenes Zeitalter für Progger.

Ich finde, das Album hat etwas zu wenige Punkte abbekommen hier. Ist doch definitiv ihr bestes seid Remedy Lane...
