Welkom bij deel drie van “de Alternatieve Pain Of Salvation Tekst En Lering”-triptiek: De APOSTEL. In dit laatste deel van het interviewdrieluik hebben we geen onderscheid gemaakt in sekse, maar is Uw potentiële interesse geselecteerd op basis van Uw chagrijnigere betweterigheid. Altijd maar die bandjes’ hun konten kussen, weg daarmee! U wilt kritische vragen, liefst zo lomp en kort door de bocht mogelijk. Het moet maar eens afgelopen zijn met die vriendelijke oppervlakkigheid. Stel vragen op het scherpst van de snede en als het even kan, zet de band maar voor het blok! Dat levert tenslotte de leukste verhalen op. Volgens U dan. Maar goed, U vraagt, wij draaien.
Ik heb tien vragen geselecteerd die laveren tussen hooghartige betweterigheid en pedante laatdunkendheid. Aan Daniel Gildenlöw de kunst om ze van gevat commentaar te voorzien. Voorwaar een koud kunstje voor hem, of sijpelde in de overdreven sarcastische toonzetting van mijn vragen toch soms wat waarheden door?
Text: Evil Dr. Smith
1. Recently I saw a documentary about Salvador Dali and his fascination for science. Dali always tried to mix art, science and religion together, especially when he became older. For instance some paintings of his wife Gala: she hung on a cross in the form of a hypercube. Also, he was a big admirer of Sigmund Freud and he used in his painting DNA-double helix symbols as well as symbols of the so-called ‘catastrophe theory’ by Rene Thom (a dynamical system theory used for ships for instance). I see some remarkable similarities with what Pain Of Salvation tries to do: combining science, religion and art all in one. Not with paintings, but with music obviously.
Hmm, maybe for the next album we could also include paintings… And grow strange moustaches. I mean, a guy throwing himself off the top of the stairs every day in school just to get attention, and pushing his friend of a cliff for no reason at all – that is a role model for any real rock’n’roll band if you ask me! Just see what he did for Mötley Crüe back in the 80s! (I mean: That whole "cool" 80s trend in metal seemed influenced by
an insane urge to be seen and pushing people off cliffs :))
2. Daniel is an opportune pessimist: he mentioned on the new album that the world population would decimate from more than 9 billion in 2050 to a mere 1,2 million a decade later. The apocalypse is near, but not after the natural death of Daniel…
When it comes to population growth and the concept of Overshooting the Carrying Capacity and likewise when we are dealing with mathematical exponential growth there are really no alternatives, even though the use of this in “BE” is of course fictional. And how do you mean natural? I can live for another 50 or 60 years! Or 70!
3. Speaking about being opportune: Pain Of Salvation doesn’t bring enough money in the pocket, that’s why Daniel joined The Flower Kings.
So, you figured it out, eh? Well, you know too much and now you will have to be eliminated! Mwuahahahaha! Wait a minute, did I just write that out aloud? Someone might be eyesdropping!
4. Pain Of Salvation doesn’t play on a regular basis. Only some occasional shows. All their kids and wives expect from them to be the lovely father and husband instead of being the R’n’R-star on stage. In fact: family life conflicts the commercial breakthrough of PoS.
I agree.
5. And if family life wasn’t the bottleneck for commercial success, then it has to be the stupidity of human kind. People are too dumb to dig PoS.
I agree.
6. Daniel is a nerd. A human paradox of metal: a librarian in a rock’n’roll-corset. He doesn’t headbang, because he can’t read literature or scientific documents at the same time.
I agree… no, wait a minute here! I’m intelligent enough to headbang and read at the same time! See, it all has to do with the brain’s ability to compensate for the movements, and we all know how exceptional my brain is, don’t we? I don’t headbang because when I do, some of the girls in the audience (and we have like five or six of them by now, and growing) might fail to see how pretty I am. And don’t you make a joke about headbanging helping!
7. ‘The Perfect Element Part 2’ is a myth, nobody in the world believes in it anymore.
Actually, part 1 is also a myth. We never released it, we still don’t know who did, even today. Recent evidence point towards Elvis Costello.
8. The answer of the meaning of the title of their previous release, the acoustic live album ’12:05’, is very simple and definitely not head cracking: it’s their fifth album from a twelve-piece band (including their wives and kids). And otherwise ’12:05’ means simply five past twelve or 2,4 without a special underlying thought.
No, in the book of David from the Dead Sea Scrolls (12:5), David himself explains how mental nirvana can be reached through oral sex (being given, not giving). This is why the whole concept “BE” is resting on that theory, as can be seen in the intro to Dea Pecuniae.
9. Pain Of Salvation is a bunch of pretentious little wise-asses. All that Latin mumbo jumbo is just for showing off their pretended intelligence. Furthermore, they think in track ‘Nauticus’ they can act like they’re the Five Blind Bloys Of Alab… Malmö (or even white-ass nigga’s in the little sketch at the end of that song), in the song ‘Pluvius Aestivus’ they downright copycat the soundtrack of Yann Tiersen’s ‘Amelie’ and Michael Nyman’s ‘The Piano’ as if metalheads won’t go to arthouse movies anyway, and in ‘Dea Pecuniae’ (among several other tracks as well) you’ll hear where Daniel’s heart truly lies: On Broadway.
The true sign of a bad journalist is when the question is longer than the answer. Of course you can always fix this afterwards by adding a lot of fake letters at the end of my answer. But I’m sure you would never do that.

10. When you put this all together: family life, lack of commercial success, ‘Perfect Element part 2’ that will never see the light of day, the over-the-top pretentious ‘Be’ that runs Daniel’s creativity & inspirations dry, the grim fact that hardly any band in the world can develop itself after its fifth album or ten years after its foundation… all this together will lead to one thing: ‘Be’ will be the last album of PoS.
Whatever you do, don’t tell our labels, we are signed for another five albums!
