Pain of Salvation is of course the band that will perform in the Swedish Melodifestival with Daniel’s song “Road Salt”.

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 !
We’re very happy to announce that this week we have songs on the No 1 selling single in Japan as well as No 2 !!!
