Inside Out Music is probably the most
important label when it comes to progressive metal and symphonic rock at the
moment. The label rarely signs any other kind of bands and since the American
office was formed by the former Dream Theater manager Jim Pitulski this is
likely what they want to focus on in the future as well. The Swedish band Pain
of Salvation is one of the veterans on the label and have been around since
1984 when the band was formed under the name Reality. Since then they have
become one of the biggest metal exports to come out of Sweden during the
1990's. Pain Of Salvation is very different from most other progressive metal
bands in their approach. They do of course have the usual trademarks like very
technical and chaotic moments, a mellow atmosphere and a very good vocalist.
The vocals do vary a lot though from the usual hard rock singing to some kind
of gothic wailing and spoken words. This is the only problem I have with this
album to since they sometimes sound really good but when the vocalist tries to
sound strange it also sounds very strange... If you like progressive metal or
gothic rock and want to listen to something out of the ordinary Pain of
Salvation would be a natural
choice.
