Pain of salvation - Entropia

Since this has been a slower month in terms of albums I'm truly interested with, I'm going to share some thoughts about my new-found love, Pain of Salvation's Entropia. I guess it's no secret by now that In the passing light of day brought back a severe POS obsession, so I've been listening and listening and listening ever since, and so I discovered that there was one album that I was missing, and that was Entropia

Pain of salvation – In the passing light of day



Every once in a while my ears and my soul are lucky enough to be graced with an album that I instantly love and that I keep loving more and more with each listen. In the passing light of day is one of those rare records. Pain of salvation have always been an emotionally intense and compelling band, but with this record it seems like Daniel poured even more of himself than usual. After his brush with death due to a very aggressive bacteria and the subsequent recovery, he created a sort of concept album based on that experience and the turmoil he went through and this naked vulnerable reflection of himself into music is absolutely fascinating. Overall it’s a more aggressive album (what some have called “return to the roots”), but at the same time it’s more intimate and the calmer moments have a special gentleness.
