To be able to reveal the roots of Swedish Pain of
Salvation, we have to go back to 1984 when
vocalist/guitarist Daniel Gildenlow formed the band Reality
at the mere age of 11. Despite their youth they received
attention in Swedish media because of their musical
capacity.
At the fall of 1987 Reality qualify to the Swedish Annual
Music Contest "Rock-SM" (the same contest that made Swedish
“Europe” big in the early eighties) as the youngest
competitors ever. Daniel Gildenlow also wins the prize for
Best Vocalist. The same year the band attends the Beatles
festival, also as the youngest participators.
In 1990 the band sees some member shifts, as Magnus
Johansson replaces Joakim at the bass, and Johan Langell
(then 14 years old) replaces the former drummer Mikael More...

------ About the song A Trace Of Blood performed by Pain Of Salvation
These lyrics are so emotional. I did not know what the song was about before I read these lyrics, and when I read the lyrics I got goosebumps all over my body. This was the first time I've reacted this way over lyrics for a song so I guess that means these are the best lyrics I've ever read. Losing a child at birth must be awful. This song has a new meaning for me now. Perfect song, truly touching lyrics.

------ About the song Pilgrim performed by Pain Of Salvation
i´ve heard this song before, but as it always is, cerain songs strike one at certain times. I´m currently far away from my home and feeling alone and displaced; i read these lyrics and almost cried. I know exactly how this guy feels. Beautiful and throughly human, Mr. Gildenlow.
The one you hate to love. | Reviewer: Kraven
------ About the song Ashes performed by Pain Of Salvation
This song kinda reminds me of the feeling of hating to love someone, you keep wanting them, you keep being with them, you simply wont give up cause you love them, but you hate them for loving them.
The feeling of being lost with them, the hopeless fighting, the longer it goes the more 'insane' both becomes "Who is the one with the sickest mind?", yet cant give it up cause of the love.
That is what i believe this song is about, the one you hate to love.

The best brick in a song ever | Reviewer: Alexander Strøm Ekelund
------ About the song Nightmist performed by Pain Of Salvation
the part where he screams "WHY SHALL I DIE!"
is the best "brick" in a song ever, i love the way they sort if make a topp, then pause the whole thing before he screams out "why shall i die"

But after listening to it, and a bunch of other songs of theirs..I directly became HOOKED!!!! hehe and esp to Beyond the Pale...has a special meaning to me. Same thing for my boyfriend, after I had him listen to their suff..actually he started laughing, but now loves them..hehe GO POS...YOU ROCK!!!... dying to watch a concert of theirs!!!!!!

------ About artist/band Pain Of Salvation
I am very impressed with Pain of Salvation. I love the way these gentlemen have chosen to express their concerns for the environment, human nature, and the state of the world in general. I don't know what more to say other than they rock and can't wait to hear more of their music.
New realms of emotion | Reviewer: David
------ About the song Undertow performed by Pain Of Salvation
Pain of Salvation is one of the few bands who have been able to walk new paths and create new styles of music throughout these last two decades.
Where a lot of bands in the prog-genre fail to incorporate feeling, emotion and style into their music, Pain of Salvation can only be accused to have too much of those. This highly original band deserves ten times the media attention that they get, even though it's music will not be commercially profitable.
The song Undertow was written overnight by Pain of Salvations prodigy Daniel Gildenlow. It's a very moody/depressing song and it's part of a concept album, so you should actually listen to the album as a whole.
Musically the song is brilliant. First of all because of it's simplicity, second because of the brilliant chord progressions that they use.
All i can say is: I wish I wrote this song.
Cheers!
David
