PAIN OF SALVATION: Feedback On New Album Has Been 'Absolutely Tremendous'

February 1, 2007

Sweden's PAIN OF SALVATION has issued the following update:

"The feedback on [the new PAIN OF SALVATION album] 'Scarsick' so far has been absolutely tremendous. The album has rendered more press and good reviews than any of the previous PAIN OF SALVATION albums, and stirred a lot of discussion. Some reviewers have already called it the 'Best Album of 2007' and it has received several 10/10 reviews around the world.

"Sure, the reactions have been partly divided (as always),especially in America for obvious reasons, but the downloads of 'America' on Inside Out America's home site quickly reached a staggering 22,000! The album is climbing the charts in several countries and the interview requests for the band are piling up at an impossible rate.

"The first pressing of the album sold out in less than two days, and the many fans who spent weeks and weeks discussing the possibility of this album being 'The Perfect Element Part II' were finally able to say 'What did I tell you?' when the official copies reached the stores, ending a long wait and putting an end to the obligatory interview question 'When will 'TPE2' come?' (or rather just replacing it with 'When will 'TPE3' come?').

"The complex concept and ideas around this album will be displayed in the hundreds of interviews that the band has already made, so stay tuned to magazines and forums to learn more. Enter the 7th world of PAIN OF SALVATION."

PAIN OF SALVATION recently recruited bassist Simon Andersson (BOSSON, OUTSHINE) as a "temporary tour member" following the departure of Kristoffer Gildenlöw (younger brother of PAIN OF SALVATION frontman Daniel Gildenlöw) early last year. A permanent replacement for Kristoffer is not expected to be announced until later this year.

PAIN OF SALVATION's "Scarsick" European tour is scheduled to kick off on February 17 in Oslo, Norway.
