Sometimes the best art is the result of a personal journey. Whether it is love or loss or both, the events of life constitute the best of what art has to offer. That is the truth behind REMEDY LANE, the fourth full-length from prolific Swedish progressive metal band Pain of Salvation. Guitarist/singer/songwriter Daniel Gildenlow has created a fantastic soundscape of imaginative, moving music. Taking personal events and transforming them into a tale of a decade-long journey of separated lovers, Gildenlow put together a concept album that would touch even the coldest of hearts. Despite the sensitive tone of the disc, Pain of Salvation maintains the intellectual nature of progressive music. PoS makes its complex time signatures and almost torturously difficult arrangements sound completely natural with their seamless, heart-felt performances. The band does maintain a level of accessibility, however, by further developing their tremendous layered guitars, multi-faceted vocals and truly memorable melodies. This is music to make one think, but also a masterful concoction of emotional beauty.
