Man, he is really not good at handling social media.

It is really strange to learn the album title and the fact that there's a single coming from his personal FB account.
Or have I missed any sort of official announcement?

Zantera · « **Reply #2976 on:** February 04, 2020, 06:59:51 AM »

I think it's cool in a way that the hardcore fans who follow his personal page learn nuggets like that before it's announced officially to everyone. I mean ultimately it doesn't really matter, like the casual fans will learn the title when they put out a big announcement but this way the bigger fans get some small fragments of info before that stage.

From where else would you expect to learn it besides his official FB account and/or the record company? It would be strange to hear it from a random source, but not those two. It is pretty normal that they make an official announcement, but I don't see why it has to be kept a secret or it can't be said in other sources.

I think he'd prefer it from an official statement. I think the "strangeness" is really only if this is the main way we find out. If this is just early info, cool. If the official info JUST comes from his personal FB, then that is a bit strange for a band like that.

Lynxo · « **Reply #2979 on:** February 04, 2020, 08:09:57 AM »

Yeah, if they release an official statement later then I guess it's fine to share little tidbits of information early like that.

Either way, I'm quite excited.

Evermind · « **Reply #2980 on:** February 04, 2020, 08:10:51 AM »

The fact that the title will be Panther was mentioned on his Instagram quite a few times already too.

Nice. I shall watch this later.

Wow kinda cringey interview. The first 3:40 or so could've been cut out. The interviewers didn't know basic stuff about the band.

Earlier in the interview around 12:00 Margarit said some of the albums before The Passing Light of Day were more of a band effort with jam sessions even though Gildenlow wrote most of the riffs and the womang was like, "I think it was cool you guys did jam sessions on the Passing Light of Day".

Leo seems like a cool dude and it was good to hear him talk about joining the band. Very interesting to hear about how Gildenlow & Zolberg wrote The Passing Light of Day together. I wonder how true that is. I like Johan's voice way more than Zolberg's but credit's due where credit's due.

I knew parts of his older songs made it onto the album but I didn't know Zolberg & Gildenlow wrote the whole album together. I was surprised to hear that. Sheds more light on why Zolberg left.

The Ragnar's credits on the songs are in the booklet, just in case.

Ok. I thought Zolberg left because he didn't get enough credit or something. Or was it money? Or both?

Money from what he said.

Kwyjibo · « **Reply #2989 on:** February 26, 2020, 12:58:57 AM »

Back then I had the impression that Ragnar felt kinda cheated, don't know if that's true. But I also think there isn't that much money to be made from Pain Of Salvation in general, so maybe it just didn't turn out the way Ragnar had hoped.

Was it bad luck? Was it fate? Or a past that he couldn't escape?

Quote

Firmly at the forefront of the progressive rock and metal scenes for nearly three decades now and one of modern rock’s most acclaimed live acts, Sweden’s Pain of Salvation return with a new studio album entitled “PANTHER”, due out August 28th, 2020 worldwide via InsideOutMusic....

Pain of Salvation – “PANTHER”:
1. ACCELERATOR
2. UNFUTURE
3. RESTLESS BOY
4. WAIT
5. KEEN TO A FAULT
6. FUR
7. PANTHER
8. SPECIES
9. ICON

Pain of Salvation’s Daniel Gildenlöw checked in with the following comment about “PANTHER”:
“The making of ‘PANTHER’ has taken over 2 years. I have felt the need to push boundaries, both musically and sonically. Approaching the music from more diverse angles, yet without losing the core identity of the band. Lyrically it coincidently fits more than ever into current times. When I look at the great artwork drawings that went into the concept, I can only say that I am extremely happy how everything turned out. I can’t wait to share this album with everybody.”

Very intriguing, to say the least.

That teaser sounds awesome, though.

Fritzinger · « **Reply #2993 on:** June 24, 2020, 07:27:50 AM »

Won't listen to any singles or teasers... but I think this will be dark and heavy.

And awesome.

Damn, I can't believe how many great albums will come out at the end of August/beginning of September! PoS, Bowness, Gungfly, Motorpsycho, Petrucci, Pineapple Thief, Neal Morse, Tangent... Most of them on August 28th.

Zantera · « **Reply #2994 on:** June 24, 2020, 08:34:56 AM »

Thought the album trailer sounded pretty bad but i mean its a 20 second teaser so not like it sways me either way. Curious to see what they came up with!

Fritzinger · « **Reply #2995 on:** June 24, 2020, 08:47:54 AM »

I don't wanna listen to the trailer, yet I'm extremely curious about how it sounds ... Can you guys please describe it

It sounds like the chorus to a song (I'm guessing Accelerator). Pretty hard to describe.

.

I'd describe it as Gangsta Rap meets Polka, with a little bit of Bluegrass thrown in.

Because 'Black Panther' was copyrighted

I think the album name is pretty cool... Don't see the issue with that.

I listened to Passing Light yesterday and today, and now I'm even more excited. That was such a brutal and awesome album, I hope they continue with this style.

It's working here.

Wow, amazing drumming, but the drum sound... a bit strange. I'm glad that the drummer's name isn't Mike Mangini

Isn't the pre-chorus very similar to something from ITPOD? I really like this song.

I was really disappointed when Ragnar left the band. I like what he brought and I always wondered if he was responsible for the last album being such a return to form for the band.

After hearing Accelerator..... nothing has changed my opinion. What an underwhelming song. Hopefully it grows on me.

I don't have an opinion, seeing as I'm not as invested in the band (although I saw them open for DT in 2002), but I've listened to all the albums up to Remedy Lane and ITPLOD.
