Additionally, following-up on their latest “Road Salt” releases, Pain of Salvation have now started to work on material for a next studio album effort, which will be a concept album that goes back to the band’s harder and heavier roots of the early 2000’s. Pain of Salvation’s Daniel Gildenlöw has checked in with a brief status report on the band’s current activities as follows:

“We have a few gigs on the horizon, but in all honesty, our true focus is on the next studio album right now. Ragnar and I truly enjoy writing music together, and have that sort of completing-each-other’s-sentences dynamics to our writing that I have only found in very few people over the years. We have very creative writing sessions, and we can’t wait for the fans to hear the new material! You’ll see a hungry and strong Pain of Salvation, confidently returning to a harder and heavier form, musically. Still, as always, without losing the intimacy and originality that has been the trademark of the band ever since the first album. Anyone who has witnessed on stage what today’s Pain of Salvation are capable of, will understand how much I am looking forward to show them what we can do in a studio.”

Something in the TPE/Remedy Lane and/or Entropia vein would certainly intrigue me.

2015-2016 keeps looking better and better.

Pain of Salvation: new live acoustic videos

Some interesting arrangements, especially with some of the rarely played songs. I guess they've done a few shows in the past 6 months in this vein. A bit like, but still different from the 12:5 approach of 10 years ago.

I guess they are looking to release 1 of these shows, or some of these recordings for another live release. Despite my feelings about the Road Salt records and especially the massive lineup changes, Daniel Gildenlow is still (potentially again) a very talented songwriter, worth paying attention to along with PoS.

not a bad song. Annoying that the picture isn't sync-ed up with the music. It's just a ballad, although I guess for "Eurovision" it would make sense to play that type of track.

for those unaware, Gildenlow is the mastermind behind Pain of Salvation.
