Pain of Salvation
Der Albumtitel steht fest

Das neue PAIN OF SALVATION-Album wird den Titel „Scarsick“ tragen und vermutlich Ende 2006 oder Anfang 2007 veröffentlicht werden. Derzeit schreibt die Band an den Songs, die wesentlich band-orientierter und elementarer als auf „Be“ sein sollen. Nach dem Ausscheiden von Kristoffer Gildenlöw hat jetzt außerdem die Suche nach einem neuen Bassisten begonnen.

Das offizielle Statement zur Trennung von Kristoffer Gildenlöw:

„We are sad to announce that Kristoffer is of now no longer a member of PAIN OF SALVATION. After having been the band´s bass player since 1994, he has now kindly been asked by the other members to leave the band. The separation derives from growing difficulties to function together as a band since Kristoffer moved to Holland a few years back.

We are a band who loves to play music together, and who values being a real band rather than a project that functions on distance. Being a tight unit welded together musically and personally is an important part of the band´s soul; and constantly being decimated while composing, rehearsing, and even recording, simply proved impossible in the long run.

Kristoffer has grown to become a tremendous bass player during the years with PAIN OF SALVATION and it is with sadness that we now see him go, but since this logistic situation will not change within the coming years, we unfortunately see no other choice.“

Das Statement von Kristoffer Gildenlöw:

„It is with big sadness that I have to walk away from one of the greatest bands I´ve ever come in contact with. I wish the situation was different, I wish there was another solution but the show must go on and this is the crossroad.

After more than eleven years as a member, I pretty much lived my life around the band and it´s going to feel very empty without it. I want to take this moment to thank all the fans out there. Thank you for your passion, thank you for your support and thank you for staying with us for all this time. I wish I had met more of you, I wish I could have played for more of you.“
