Pain of Salvation / MOROW

[@tvd7377]

I was in the hospital with a severe lethal intestine desease and Daniel's album got me through it. I was on the edge of having organ failure. I fought my body and mental side. If you have the will to live you will win. Pain of salvation got me through the 3 months in the hospital

I rediscovered PoS 7 days ago after 14 Years of "break". And I am amazed. They were always very creative, musically versatile, juicy juicy band - which I appreciated and still do. BUT there is a great developement that took place and such developement comes only from changes that occur within. In my eyes Gildenlöw has matured. He looks like a man, he sounds like a man and he writes like a man. Before... all talent and all singing and topics ...all good all good, still a like. BUT NOW - he has finally become grounded. It is possible he does not even know how far the photo on the cover symbolically goes. That is when the archetypal pushes its way through - via intuition, several "coincidences" that one has to react to. It is a true creative process. It evokes an initiation ceremony. A boy becoming a man. Son painting his father before a fight. He paints him with Rising Sun - ancient symbol of manhood, activity, day, light, clarity, focus, warmth, life, a symbol of the Alvater. Also, the fact that Gildenlöw has 3 SONS, not a single daughter, says something about him NEEDING to learn about manhood, covering his anima with the muscle and strength of a man. Becoming a male leader of the tribe. Yet before that could have happened, he essentially needed to fall down. And what is the best way to push a young man down to the ground? The intelligent ways of Life have no competitor in this. If Gildenlöw had paid attention, he surely saw signs in a form of inner urge, several other things occurring before the BACTERIAL GURU hit him. Even "only" inner urges, inner chaos, questions rising, something eating him up on the inside previously, tensions, more fights, less understanding, restlessness ... any sort of escalation process. If he kept searching for answers outside of himself, he needed the very last kick that would turn his attention to the inside. Wasnt it so? He got pinned down to bed for a few months. He lost his strength, he lost some physical material. Material (our body) is what bounds a human to the animalistic world, the world of instincts and the lower emotions. Gildenlöw got tossed down rough in order to rediscover himself, recheck and rise like a phoenix from the ashes. And sure he did. Honest congratulation. Gildenlöw story is an interesting and clear example of what is happening (on some level) to everyone, who bears a spark of growth in him-/herself. The bacteria was a gate-opener, a teacher. If we do not catch the signs on the internal level, our body will show us eventually. And who will not get it even then - death will be the next station. Spiritual/emotional death FOR SURE. When we are forced to look death calmly in the eye, at least for a brief moment, it may be a great pivotal point for our lives. Death is the truthbearer and a great cleaning lady for the spirit. Gildenlöw washed his inside from bullshit and he gained modesty - which is a great and forgotten quality. His facial expression changed. It seems he came out stronger, embracing his sensitivity with a new understanding. From higher perspective the departure of Ragnar was nothing but a side effect. It must have happened. Vibrationally there wasnt a match and they needed to go separate ways, it was inevitable. The big drama of this world is totally totally unimportant. ...and Closure ? There definitely is a closure. Closure is a simple decision. Once you drop the dead bodies of past events that you keep dragging on to stage, to bed, to bathroom... and allow yourself to reinvent your performance without having to keep sucking on your past - that chapters will be closed. Unless you want them open, of course. Choice is always yours. Once we drop the half-rotten smelling corpses of things long gone, the closure will happen.

That's why, for that reasons the Pain of Salvation band is listened to as in Russia as all over the other world!

[@jonashoffmann3730]

So either Daniel has changed his opinion about album covers or the "Panther" cover is a little tounge in cheek XD (Or maybe both)
