Here is the song ICON from our latest album PANTHER to get you into the weekend.
What are you guys listening to these days (besides Pain of Salvation songs)? Have a nice weekend!
Watch the video for 'PANTHER' directed by Lars Ardarve:
“How does it feel to be you?” she once asked me
I said “I feel like a panther trapped in a Dog’s world”
Watch our new lyric video for 'UNFUTURE' here:
Welcome to the new world
All want, no need
See, the less your heart is in it
The less you'll bleed

It's for everyone who always had problems sitting still in the classroom, or who never really knew how to speak up. The daydreamers, the relentlessly curious, the comedians, the unexplainably angry. This is your album.
Because you, my friend, are a PANTHER. And you are a valued member of the Full Throttle Tribe. Ladies and gentlemen, rev your engines, the world is about to get panthered! 🙂
It's for the outsiders, the diagnosed, the medicated, the hungry, the sad, the ones walking around daily trying to understand how to fit in with this species, with this era.
This album is for you, or someone you know. It is for the restless, the shy, the motormouths, the passionate, the ones who go far beyond the point of reason for what you believe in.
Pre-orders are now available from our shop now, as double CD Digipak and gatefold double LP –including the very rare TOOTH (bone-white vinyl) and BLOOD (red vinyl) versions.
