Pain Of Salvation

Progressive Metal

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

This swedish band was introduced to me through PA. Thanks for that.

The word progressive is totally appropriate with this record. I don�t think it worth while to go through the music piece by piece, since the whole is what matters here. This is a musical journey through western man and times. The idea of a female god and man could so easily turn out pompous or ridiculous, but not here. There are beautiful and emotional melodies, tragedy, humour and ideas to think about in a very colourful mixture.

Meaningful art is seldom born out of emptiness. This journey in the midst of various cultural images is interesting and exciting. And art it is, no doubt. And progressive for sure. Metal it is not, so don't be misled by the band's genre attribute.

Those of you, who enjoy many different kinds of good music and are not too bothered with swedish humor, go for this one.
