Pain Of Salvation launch video for “Accelerator”

As previously reported here at Stargazed Magazine, Sweden’s progressive rock/metal masters Pain of Salvation will release a new studio album, “Panther”, via InsideOutMusic on August 28th, 2020. The follow-up to 2017’s “In The Passing Light Of Day”was recorded, mixed and produced by Daniel Gildenlöw with Daniel Bergstrand (In Flames, Meshuggah, Devin Townsend) and comes with illustrations made by André Meister.

The first single off “PANTHER” is the album’s opening track, “ACCELERATOR”. Watch the video, directed by Lars Ardarve, here:

Pain of Salvation’s leader Daniel Gildenlöw checked in with the following comment about the song/video:
“It has been brilliant to work with Lars for a video, after all these years of photographing. We think alike and always have a blast when we work together. We had three very long days of shooting it, only Lars and us in the band in Skjulstahallen, a large gymnastics hall kindly provided by IKEG. As per usual, I found myself in weird situations, like making high flips and jumps over Lars’ head. We are very happy with this video and think it’s the perfect kickoff for the PANTHER album.”
