Not to be overly picky or anything, but the name of the song is actually
"Raining Blood". "Reign in Blood" is the title of the album.

maybe this will spur up some talk on pain of salvation.
pretty interesting review...some things i agree with, some i don't.
i agree with the singer comment. the more i listen to dt, the more i
realize that james labrie doesn't fit. he's great when he's processed in a
studio environment. but when he's live he sometimes pushes his voice past
what it is meant to do. just my opinion...
PAIN OF SALVATION
The Perfect Element
LIMB/InsideOut Music
Picture Dream Theater with more soul and emotion and with a singer that
didn't annoy the hell out of you, and you have Pain Of Salvation. What makes
this band stand out from most other modern prog-metal bands is the fact that
they're not overly technical and not so damn sterile sounding. By looking at
their picture, they look like they'd play grind-core death-metal, but make
no mistake, P.O.S. are definitely a first-class prog-metal band, and given
more time and exposure, this band can surely follow the path of past greats
such as Savatage and Queensryche. The musicianship is first-rate, very
classy and, at times, spiritual sounding. Vocalist/guitarist Daniel
Gildenlow has an amazing voice, very emotional and soothing, but he can also
sing with great power. The music gets a bit too light in places, but the
songs are well-structured enough and filled with brilliant vocal harmonies
to maintain the interest level. My personal faves are the heavier tunes,
including the opening track "Used," "Idioglossia," (which builds into a
metal opus) and "King Of Loss." The limited edition package also comes with
a bonus four-song CD.
