Pain Of Salvation / Scar Symmetry Live

Pain Of Salvation / Scar Symmetry Live in Athens.
Friday 07 January 2011
Fuzz Club, Tavros, Athens, Greece

I was late on more time to arrive so I missed most of Scar Symmetry's performance. Scar Symmetry is a Swedish progressive/death metal band.

Fuzz Club was not full at the time I arrived but people kept coming.

Pain Of Salvation delivered a great performance playing songs from their entire catalogue for more than two hours, something they are well known for.

I had the opportunity to see them live for the first time and this made me appreciate their music even more.

They played two Dio covers, one of them being a "jazz" version of "Holy Diver". I don't know how that will "sound" to Dio's fans, but for me it was on more example of the diversity of Pain Of Salvation and not always walking the "easy" path.
