Pain Of Salvation, Sun Caged

Swedish band PAIN OF SALVATION is one of the most dynamic progressive metal bands nowadays. Since their beginning in '90 discovering new paths, and surprising the fans on each new album. The band is on tour to promote their new EP 'Linoleum' in Europe. Dutch formation SUN CAGED is the support act on this special evening.

It is almost three years after the experimental, amazing album 'Scarsick' (2007). The new formation is currently working on their new double album 'Road Salt' (2010). Vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter Daniel Gildenlöw says about the new album: It will have a very raw and dry sound, like '1976 on steroids'. In November their new EP 'Linoleum is released as a teaser for the fans. Of course they will promote their new sound live on this tour!

Since their first album Entropia (1997) their fanbase is growing all over the world. Touring with bands like Opeth, Evergrey and Dream Theater. Headlining many summer festivals. Their populariry is still growing! Especially after the live DVD from their show in Paradiso (NL). Daniel Gildenlöw is a charismatic frontman with a talented voice: from high fragile notes till a deep grunts it is all eay for him. It is not easy to describe their sound, because it is very diverse and dynamic. A trademark is their sound is the powerful, accentuated guitar work, broad vocal range, abrupt switching between heavy and calm passages.



Each album from PAIN OF SALVATION is a concept album, Daniel says about the new release: "Revolving around choices, temptation, sacrifices, passion and the difficult art of giving up. A lot of the intimate issues that have become the core of Pain of Salvation in other words."
