The key characteristics of Daniel Gildenlöw's singing that come to mind are emotion, expression, athleticism, and versatility. Whether bringing down the roof with gritty belting or intoning a ballad with utmost fragility, his commitment to doing justice to a song is unwavering. As the face of Swedish progressive metal/rock icons Pain of Salvation, Gildenlöw is the rare prog singer whose chops match the instrumentalists in his band (which funnily enough, also includes himself) and is continually pushing his voice and music in unexpected directions. This rare combination of musical virtuosity and artistic innovation is what makes him such an icon of modern progressive music.
Shout Outs: Thanks to BassSquared for notewatching the Hammer of the Gods Led Zeppelin tribute show and some additional odds and ends (such as the Heaven on Their Minds cover). Also thanks to 'S for cropping the picture.
