Pain Of Salvation have a gift for their fans this Christmas, a new song! The Swedish progressive rock/metal innovators are soon to release their upcoming studio album, In The Passing Light Of Day, on the 13th of January, 2017 via their longtime label partners InsideOutMusic. The album's second single, "Reasons", as well as a video for it have now been revealed. Check out the clip produced by Joakim S. Hammond and Love Fagerstedt for Lynx Pictures here. Do you like the song?




Daniel Gildenlöw commented about the song/video as follows: "We are proud to present the second video from our upcoming album In The Passing Light Of Day. It's a hard and complex track, but is somehow catchy enough to make people go around humming it hours after they've heard it. I left one of the early demos in my car over the weekend, and the next week I heard my kids hum it while they were playing app games on their phones. Or, as Daniel Bergstrand put it, 'It's awesome - it's so catchy that you can't resist singing it, but it drives you crazy because at the same time you can't grasp the weird rhythms enough to do it right!' hahaha. The video is a bit different too, because I'm in it, but with all my clothes on and not having sex with anyone or even holding severed body parts of any kind. How weird is that? For those who think that's just too meek, I can offer some comfort to that, by revealing that four of us were bleeding after only two or three takes of the video. Who was the one who didn't bleed? That's a mystery for you to solve and discuss. 'Because I hate every motherfucking word you say!' Lyrically the song is about the love."
