In the Passing Light of Day is the tenth studio album by Swedish band Pain of Salvation, released on 13 January 2017 via InsideOut Music. A concept album like every other by the band, the lyrics focus on mortality, death and the joys and angers of life.[10] The album is dedicated to "my lover, my best friend", in reference to Daniel Gildenlöw's wife Johanna Iggsten.
Album information
[edit | edit source]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.
"I have been brought to the emergency ward with flesh-eating bacteria. Teams of doctors struggle, but no antibiotics help and no morphine takes away the pain. What started off as an annoying infection has, in just hours, suddenly pivoted into the very real possibility of my actually dying."
— Daniel Gildenlöw
The song is about Daniel's wife Johanna and the life they've spent together. It makes reference to "A Trace of Blood" from Remedy Lane, written about Johanna's miscarriage. In fact, Gildenlöw has referred to this album as Remedy Lane II due to its repeated use of themes found throughout the original's songs.[11]
