Pain Of Salvation - In The Passing Light Of Day album flac

Better burn out, they say Than fade away Some candles last an hour And others one full day. But I, I wanna be like the sun That steady flame that burns on And on And still. A lifetime since we met That January Two young kids feeding on politics And poetry Running on dreams. Cos all those times are still here today All those times they still hurt today All those moments return today All those times of "Another day". You're watching me slowly slip away Like the passing light of day Watching our colors turning grey Like the passing light of day. I need something new If I could start anew Would it be the same? I need something new.

In the Passing Light of Day is the tenth studio album by Swedish band Pain of Salvation and was released on 13 January 2017 by InsideOut. A concept album like every other by the band, the lyrics focus on mortality, death and the joys and angers of life. The album is dedicated to "my lover, my best friend", in reference to Daniel Gildenlöw's wife Johanna Iggsten.

I first heard of Pain of Salvation shortly after the release of ‘Remedy Lane’ in 2002. I was floored by the emotional intensity and raw honesty of the album, and the rather unique take they had on progressive metal. However when I heard they were returning to their prog metal roots for next year’s ‘In The Passing Light of Day’ I was cautiously optimistic, although I still wondered if they had it in them after all the years and the lineup changes to release a truly exceptional album. And as it turns out, not only do they have it in them, but they’ve put out one of the best albums of their career. Along with returning to making progressive metal, they also returned to concept albums.

But Pain of Salvation, particularly Road Salt pt. 1, did just that to me in 2010. It sucker punched me right in the feels. In the Passing Light of Day strikes that same chord for me, but in a way that I think will keep me coming back for a long time. The other theme which runs through this album seems to be the use of sex and, the guilt it generates, as an outlet in the face of grief. This is a thing that has shown up in earlier Pain of Salvation stuff, but it’s very pronounced. In listening, I can’t tell if these are sort of parallel tracks of a single story, or if there’s no story at all. But in my head it forms an arc, where someone is trying desperately to feel alive in the face of the annihilation of their life and physical body.

Swedish progressive rock/metal innovators PAIN OF SALVATION will release their long-awaited new studio album, "In The Passing Light Of Day", on Friday, January 13, 2017, via their longtime label partners InsideOut Music
