Pain of Salvation kündigen für Februar und März 2012 ihre Europa Headlinertour an.

Frontmann Daniel Gildenlöw:
"It's been a bit strange for us to play first slot, but we've had a lot of fun and the feedback from the crowds has been great every night. We seem to have struck a chord with a lot of Opeth's fans, so we are glad that we accepted their invitation.
Now, when we have obviously left a lot of fans hungry for more, it feels great to announce the upcoming European tour in February and March.
This trip has been odd since we all know that Johan and Fredrik are leaving the band. We are enjoying ourselves on stage in the same way a typical Swede enjoys those late fall days of bonus summer, haha. That said, we have a very interesting line-up for February.
Daniel "D2" Karlsson who played the bass for this tour will take over Fredrik's place behind the keyboards (he is a keyboard player from the start and played keyboards on our trip to India in 2010 - being in Pain of Salvation practically indicates that you are a multi-instrumentalist).
For the bass we will have Gustaf Hielm joining, who some people might recognize as the bass player on the Road Salt tracks Innocence and Deeper Cut. Others might recognize him as the Pain of Salvation bass player before the first album, or the bass player of Charta 77 and Meshuggah. I simply recognize him as arguably the best bass player I have ever heard.
Now, the only thing left is to decide on a new guitar player. We have had tons of applications coming in from around the world (10-15 from Brazil alone!) but we still have our doors open for a few days, before we start the final auditions in mid-December.
We still have three more shows together, and we will make the most of it - enjoy the ride. After that, again, we go into the wild. Calmed by the fact that our daring fans will follow, as usual. Pain of Salvation has been called the bravest band alive. Well, if so, we must indeed have the bravest fans :)"
