Artist: PAIN OF SALVATION
Album: LINOLEUM (MCD)

Release date: 2009
Media type: CD

While waiting for the upcoming new studio album ‘Road Salt’, which will be released early next year and will contain no less than 22 songs on a double CD (and LP!), Pain Of Salvation teases us with this luxurious appetizer ‘Linoleum’. A teaser with a Dutch ingredient, since the album is mastered by Peter van ‘t Riet in Amersfoort. This EP contains six songs and the first four songs will be released on ‘Road Salt’ as well: the title track ‘Linoleum’, ‘Mortar Grind’, ‘If You Wait’ and ‘Gone’. Regarding Daniel Gildenlow. Pain Of Salvation is now musically shifting between the threatening vibes of Faith No More, the raw energy of Foo Fighters, the soul of Jeff Buckley and the drone of Zeppelin and the Doors. Sound-wise we are talking 1976 on steroids.

Recorded @ Road Salt Studios by Daniel Gildenlow and Pain of Salvation
