After having surprisingly passed the initial round of the national Swedish competition for the Eurovision song contest, Melodifestivalen, Pain of Salvation are now gearing up for performing their intense song “Road Salt” as part of the next round’s “Andra Chansen” (Second Chance) show in Örebro, Sweden tomorrow, Saturday March 6 at 8pm CET.

Once again, the contest will be broadcasted live by Sweden’s National TV-Station SVT and it can also be internationally followed online at this location: www.svt.se/melodifestivalen

The contest is being watched by several million people within Sweden and Pain of Salvation have successfully managed to make an outstanding impact with their very atmospheric rendition of the song “Road salt” as well as their concept of “Going back to letting the song be the focal point, not the fancy dresses or the recipe production and structure of the performance”, as Pain of Salvation’s frontman Daniel Gildenlöw mentions, before adding, “Just us. Playing a song meant to touch your heart. Stripped down. Naked. Brave. Old-school.”

Please pass the word around, show your support to Pain of Salvation and give the band feedback to their performance afterwards via their websites…
