Pain of Salvation is of course the band that will perform in the Swedish Melodifestival with Daniel’s song “Road Salt”. It was announced yesterday to Swedish media but it wasn’t sure the members could attend the huge press conference since they are still touring and head off to Australia next together with Dream Theatre. The city they are performing in the Melodifestival is Örnsköldsvik on February 6, 2010. The band has also just released an EP called “Linoleum” (InsideOut Music), check it out !
