Entropia by Pain Of Salvation
The debut release by Swedish prog metal stalwarts Pain Of Salvation, "Entropia" was originally released in 1997 in Japan, and received a domestic release two years later in the rest of the world. This whirlwind of a release mixes in a vast array of influences and is one of the most broadly ambitious records in the group's impressive catalog.
"This album is a very complex concept that is pretty hard to grasp. It is about a family in a war situation, about a father that fails to protect his family, about a child who needs a father and not a soldier, about a society that kills and excludes and then takes its hand away from the remains in shock of what it has become. It is about a world I have chosen to call Entropia, which is a combination of the two words "Entropy" and "Utopia". Entropia is suspiciously similar to our world." — Daniel Gildenlöw
