Eskilstuna, Sweden (1984 – present)
Pain of Salvation is a progressive metal band from Eskilstuna, Sweden. The band centres on lead vocalist, guitarist, composer, and writer Daniel Gildenlöw.
Trademarks include concept albums focusing on social, environmental, philosophical, and emotional issues as well as songs that incorporate complex rhythms and time changes but retain flowing melodies.
The band was formed by Gildenlöw in 1984 under the name Reality. The band used to participate in many music contests in their homeland of Sweden. The first EP, Hereafter, was recorded in 1996 under the monicker Pain of Salvation, which has been the name of the band since 1991. The Lineup of the band was the same for their first official full length album, Entropia(1997).
After the departure of Daniel Magdic for continuing disagreements with the others over committing to the increasing demands of the band, the band recorded One Hour By The Concrete Lake(1999), a concept album about the issues of nuclear power/waste, disposition of indigenous peoples,industry and human discovery. The band began to receive more attention from critics and magazines all around the world. In 1999 they also played at the famous ProgPower festival in The Netherlands.

I wonder why, from time to time, someone posts right after me saying the exact same thing I just did. [2] About the all-time-favourite-song thing, for me is ever-changing too. I'm not much into PoS right now, but it must be Holy Diver cover.

At the moment, I would say Idioglossia and Water, but this is changing frequently, as I'm on a monstrous Pain of Salvation binge. Road Salt One + Two are becoming favourites lately too. So much brilliant music across the discography.

Presently I'd say Eleven, Physics of Gridlock, New Year's Eve, Water... but the list is ever-changing, since nearly every song on their book is top notch.

Lilium Cruentus. I associate this song with a book I read right now. Listening to Pain of Salvation and reading Neil Gaiman is probably the best thing one can do on such a cold day :)

Let's just ask a question: what do you think might be your all-time favourite Pain of Salvation song (I know, it's hard, I'm mostly an album listener too). My own answer would probably be Iter Impius. I love the emotional feeling, the guitar solo and the vocals are some of the best Daniel has ever done in my opinion.

Eh, I check most shoutboxes that I've posted in like, twice, most days. We just need to wait for the tour and some live versions of Sisters and Healing Now to go mad over.

It's funny that it's almost dead... I come here everyday, generally several times a day. And I bet I'm not the only one. [2] @TheBehind: Haha, I make the same but with my profile. I just like to look at the charts and how they evolve.
