I am in love with this band. Totally agree that it is outrageously underestimated. This song gives me goosebumps. They should be more famous than some of the pseudo-rock bands like Coldplay (apologies to the fans, it's just an opinion.)
ok for one i stumbled on this and i have to say wow its like that feeling when i was younger at a record shop looking for hours to find the one band that did something almost changed me its beyond great
wow this i amazing reading all these comments realizing how huge these guys have become. I remember back in 2001 or 2002 when Kristoffer Gildenlöw was still in the band and both him and Johan were substitute music teachers at my high school. During one music-class Johan showed us this music video. My music taste back then was linkin park and limp bizkit so it is unfortunetaly not until til this day I realize how great this is.
I actually found it's message quite powerful, even though the song has no chance at mainstream success. Just goes to show that Daniel made this video to express his ideas, instead of promote them.
Indeed if they´d go mainstream (like DT is doing, sorry for bringing them up, they jost lowered a few places from no.1 favourite band after their last 2 albums. PoS is ultimately my favourite, just because they make music, explaining the word "music" in the proces.
I never considered DT as mainstream but compared to PoS they are. I Love both bands so much but PoS just has an element to it that makes it different from all the rest. If Them going mainstream means they lose than then Im glad theyre not mainstream. But these guys deserve it though. If they went mainstream but kept making music the way they do it would be great
Most mainstream-bands tend to forget about their fans, the ones who made them big. I have had the privilege of meeting Daniel G in person (and said 'hi' to the rest of the band :P), and he is one of the kindest artists I've met so far :) Cheers!
Their success and great musicality is not a catalytic factor. It is a proof of our society's lack of understanding and music knowledge that they are not "mainstream". Good music should be mainstream. Oh well it's not their fault. I hope they will just keep writing awesome songs for those who like it. Can you imagine anything better than this: you create music with meaning for those who agree with you and support you. An artist's accomplishment for life.
Haha it's so great that such a well written and recorded song has such a low budget music video. It just shows how authentic the band is (was). I guess that the fact that they are not commercial is a catalytic factor for their top quality.
Pain of Salvation are real Artists: they give emotion, communication and every time i listen to their songs i descover something new.. they sound forever fresh
Why does daniel gildenlow have such a good voice? Like it makes me angry there isnt more of that in metal. Closest thing is like bruce dickingson, and maybe james labrie.
Howard James from Killswitch Engage! songs i recommend: Album; As Daylight Dies, songs; arms of sorrow, reject yourself. the whole album is sick, but those songs are realy awsome.....hope you like it:)
Jesse's vocals on are much better and more enjoyable, I think... like the vocals on Alive or Just Breathing, I cant stand as daylight dies, personally lol
Well, i think the two versions of "Fixation On The Darkness" says it all, Howard will eat Jessie anytime^^. I think "My Last Serenade" fits Jessie well, best song on the alive or just breathing album i must say!

I really, really don't like his vocals. I don't really like metalcore in general. It's probably not a genre most POS fans would appreciate. I like unearth though.
There are more like Rob Halford, Mikael Åkerfeldt, just to name a couple. But there are a lot more bad ones in metal than good ones. I don't mind growling, but I like when it's combined with some clean vocals. Also, alot of bands don't even growl well, it's just a lazy attempt at doing vocals.
in fact, pilgrim are the so called devoted man and women who travel, generally by foot, to whorship (i think thats how u write it) certain god or saint, of one religion. it's always a "sacred soil" for their religion, the place they go. =]
Agreed. This is such a nice song - one of my favorite soft songs ever; however, this video pretty much blows. It's so dumb when Daniel is lying on the ground and mouthing the lyrics.
Maybe its because Daniel is the composer of all the music the drum, the bas, the keyboard and both guitars. He just show the others how to play it? xD
I love this music, I love this band, and I love this album. but, why their clips are so bizarre? O_o
