Pain of Salvation is a progressive rock band from Eskilstuna, Sweden. The band is centered around lead vocalist / guitarist / composer / 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 Daniel Gildenlöw in 1984 under the nick 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.

Why hasn't the video been released yet? It looked pretty much ready in Stockholm and they said that the director just had to work two more days on it, now it's been a month and still no sign of it.

Songs will just rank higher or lower if they are being more or less listened to. If someone is actually pissed off about Iter Impius currently ranking in 23th, just listen more to it and the song will surely rank higher - in their own charts and that's what matters.

Iter Impius is not in chart :( It's tagged in too many different ways, that's probably why.
