    Ok, we'll consider it, but I doubt the rest of the band will be thrilled about the idea. Also, the "ö" might cause trouble. Not that it ever stopped Mötley Crüe though...

yup'. the rhythm section was incredibly talented in TPE, RL and BE...amazing work from Kriss and Langell. Hopefully Léo and "New Bass Player" can play at that level of creativity and groove.

I'm more worried about the new bass player...
Simon was OK...
Kristoffer was by far the best...

As for the drums... Leo sounds pretty good...
I think he'll do a splendid job...
Langell was unbeatable but let's give Leo a chance!

Can't wait for new album

I was curious too to hear Simon on the album...when a member is gone is always bad...I remember when Martin Lopez leaved Opeth and my desperation, clearly replaced by the great Axenrot....and here is the same...a great sadness for Langell, Kristoffer and Simon (if this is out of the band)...but complete faith in the new guys coming in this band...

Simon leaving the band so soon just makes me feel that he had no love for Pain of Salvation, that also being reinforced by his absolute lack of charisma in stage, he seemed to be there playing the bass for pure obligation.

I believe the every PoS fan is waiting for an explanation about what happened with Simon. It's incredible the instability that the band has with bass players...

Anyway, wish you all the best!!

And please Daniel, Brazilian fans crave for you next show here. You didn't come on the Scarsick Tour, don't forget us on the next tour!!

Pat says:

...maybe I didn't realize that Simon is not with the band anymore...It's always sad to see such talented musicians go. Needless to say that Christopher and Langell are the cream of the cream and cannot be replaced. Neither as musician nor as a bandmember.
As an outstanding person I don't have the right to judge over this.
So I call it luck again, that I had the chance to see them live so many times.
The expectations are extremely high and I think it's not easy to join pos. But I know that a bandmember has to be so much more than an excellent musician. He has to be a friend, a part of the family and of course he has to play an instrument.
Whatever pos will do in the future...I am there...as a fan...as a supporter..

Good luck to all the members that left the band and to all that will join.

Herr Gildelöw, is the dark concept of bury people anyhow coherent with the way you feel about the guys that left the band? I'm somehow curious, since you "buried" even your brother alongside the others...

TheSleeper says:

^ It's because he want's to play it himself, and he's just using temporary replacements until he finds and perfects a way to play bass and guitar at the same time.

That is a beautiful picture, by the way, as are all the other ones on this site. The work of Ardarve, I presume?

No, this is all wrong. Simon has a myspace profile and he explained why he left Pain of Salvation. As I understood about his explanation, he wanted to focus on his compositions. And he hadn't a lack of love for Pain of Salvation. Even if he left the band from nothing, he have his life and other goals.
He probably want to do some solo work, but I think that isn't a reason to classify his attitude as a "cool blood bassist".

They should get Daniel Magdic back, on bass! He'd work as counterweight for Gildenlöw as he did on Entropia.

The new drummer is named Léo Margarit, and he sucks big time...He's nothing compaired to Johan, he's not even able to handle songs like Second Love...I wish Jeff Porcaro was still alive and play in the band...

Meh, no one should worry. They make good decisions. I know no matter what they'll put on a good show. Léo is different which is good. He's a very well-rounded, musical drummer who is just what this band needs. Simple as that. As far as bass players, there are plenty of bass players that could feasibly play the music. Some people act like Kristoffer is irreplaceable. He was amazing, and I love his style and diversity, but it's not a matter of skill at this point, but of commitment.

  Why would they change the band name? POS is a band that creates beautiful music that almost everyone can listen to. POS is a band that the players (whoever they may be) put their blood, sweat and tears into. if Daniel wanted to do a different project, he just had the best opportunity to do that. Pain of Salvation isnt a band that shouldnt get replaced because a few member changes.

Nothing against the new guys, I'm sure Daniel knows what is the best for PoS but man, oh man, I DO MISS the old crew(with Kristoffer)!
One will call me tradicionalist or anything else but I'm sure there are a lot of fans who agree with me.
Anyways, I'm pretty excited i'm gonna see their concert here in Brazil this weekend. I'm looking forward to see the new crew in live action!
In spite of my words, I leave here a warm welcome for the new crew and please, I beg you, do whatever necessary to help Daniel keep the PoS essence on the field!
