"Let's burn together..."

This is a blog dedicated to Daniel Gildenlöw, a really talented musician and, in my opinion, one of the best singers alive. He is best know for his progressive metal band, Pain of Salvation. I must warn you about something: when I'm on Tumblr, I tend to fangirl a lot and I'll probably do the same with what I post in this blog. So I wouldn't recommend following it if that's something you don't like :)

One of the worst things that could happen to me has happened. I moved back home with my grandmother and, of course, she doesn't have internet in her house. So that's basically the reason why this blog has been dead, and I don't know if I'll be able to be on Tumblr much anymore but I miss it ;_;

I saw Pain of Salvation in their acoustic tour and it was an incredible experience but I wish I could have talked about it with someone... Anyway, I'll try to start making gifs again, maybe stealing someone's wifi or something :D

The website is back! :D

Yaay! Thanks for letting me know! =D

They changed the design, so that's why they put it down I guess.

OMG IT DISAPPEARED FROM GOOGLE SEARCH AND I CAN'T ACCESS IT?! what's happening this is not okay

DON'T MAKE ME FREAK OUT! I'm trying to stay calm and think it's probably nothing and it's just a silly mistake or something...

I only wanted to know if there were any news on the new album and now my favourite band's website is GONE. And they haven't said anything in their facebook page for a while. Why do they do this to us after promising a new album? ;_;

[daniel-gildenlow]

Well, it doesn't even shows up in google results, so I guess they took it down on purpose. Ugh :(

I hadn't thought about it but it makes sense, it's true that it doesn't show up in google results and that's kind of weird... Why would they ask not to be there?

[daniel-gildenlow]

I was thinking about the same thing! I thought it was just my computer that didn't let me in to the website but it must be something else...???

Seems like it's been down for like two weeks or maybe more. I don't know, maybe they haven't even realized, they've been quiet for some time. Maybe they're working on something or they want to make a new website or... I don't know.

Does anyone know what happened to Pain of Salvation's website? Or it works just fine for everybody else?

Daniel talking about the name of his band. 

I KNEW IT.

I've never liked the name and I had the feeling that he felt the same, I think none of us would like a name we had chosen when we were teenagers! And seriously, "Pain of Salvation"... I love the band, but I find it hard to say this name to other people. You should see the looks my friends give me when I mention them. Thank God one of them likes a band named "Eternal Tears of Sorrow" so at least he can't say anything to me.

(I hope no one gets offended by this, I guess some people like this name, it's just a personal thing)

Day 8 - Favorite Vocalist.

I didn’t have any trouble deciding for this one. Daniel Gildenlow from Pain of Salvation is my favorite vocalist. He portrays a lot of emotion with his voice, has a great range, and is overall an amazing performer.

Look at the frets in the guitar... I had to google it after I came back from their concert because I had never seen something like that. If you're curious, you can read about it here.

That was the kind of audience we had far back with Pain of Salvation with the first albums. We had a lot of prog metal and prog rock fans. They tend to stand in the back. They give you respect by really paying attention to the music and maybe play drums in the air to show that they know when there’s a seven beat or when there’s a four by four. That never gave me any energy back really. I like people to invest emotionally in music when they get to the show. Of course I want us onstage to invest emotionally too. So I feel that back there I’m trying to invest myself emotionally and trying to get the audience and everyone sort of loosening up a bit. It’s a hard task.
