Video Clip For New Song "Meaningless" Issued By Pain Of Salvation

Swedish progressive rock/metal innovators Pain of Salvation are commencing the promotional campaign for the much anticipated new studio album "In the Passing Light of Day,' which will be released on Friday the 13th of January, 2017 via longtime label partners InsideOutMusic.

Therefore, the band is launching the album's first single 'Meaningless" today. Check it out in a stunning video produced by Joakim S. Hammond and Love Fagerstedt for Lynx Pictures in the player below.

Pain of Salvation have checked in with the following comment on "Meaningless": "We feel very proud to release the first video for the upcoming album 'In the Passing Light of Day.' Love and Joakim and the entire film team have made a tremendous work. In it, you will also see some wonderful Pain of Salvation fans, whom we want to send extra warm thanks to! Let the journey begin, into the passing light of day. Enter 'Meaningless.'"

Inextricably linked to the near fatal illness that band-leader Daniel Gildenlöw spent much of the first half of 2014 recovering from, the album is an altogether darker and more impassioned journey. Taking the hospital bed as a narrative hub, the lyrical and musical themes touch on all the conflicting feelings that run through a person's mind when presented with the prospect of death and the passing of life.

The track list for the album is:

1. On a Tuesday (10:22)
2. Tongue of God (04:53)
3. Meaningless (04:47)
4. Silent Gold (03:23)
5. Full Throttle Tribe (09:05)
6. Reasons (04:45)
7. Angels of Broken Things (06:24)
8. The Taming of a Beast (06:33)
9. If This Is the End (06:03)
10. The Passing Light of Day (15:31)
