Pain Of Salvation has just revealed that they will be releasing their tenth studio album, In the Passing Light of Day, on January 13th via InsideOutMusic. Band leader Daniel Gildenlöw spent much of 2014 recovering from a near fatal illness, so no one knew if we would ever hear any new material from the band, and that unknown makes its way onto the new record. Here’s what he had to say: “What started off as an annoying infection has, in just hours, suddenly pivoted into the very real possibility of me actual dying. That’s not to say, however, that all this record presents is blackness. This album also shows the beauty of the transition, of the inevitable. And of the hope of a tomorrow, the hope of change, no matter how frail and naive that hope may be.”

As for the music, the press release states that “the band have crafted an album that sees them returning to their much praised heavier sound, featuring the syncopated rhythms, glorious melodies, and intensely personal themes that Pain of Salvation fans have long loved about the band.”

Exciting right?! Check out the album trailer below, and get ready for new Pain Of Salvation tunes in 2017!
