In the Passing Light of Day is the tenth studio album by Swedish band Pain of Salvation and was released on 13 January 2017 by InsideOut. The album was conceived in 2014 when bandleader Daniel Gildenlöw contracted a life threatening flesh eating bacteria. Hospitalized in Uppsala, Sweden, he was forced to sit out of Transatlantic's KaLIVEoscope tour. While receiving treatment Gildenlöw wrote the songs that became the basic premise of the album, including the 15 minute title track. A concept album like every other by the band, the lyrics focus on mortality, death and the joys and angers of life.[1]
Track listing
