[Review] Pain Of Salvation ‘Road Salt Two’

However, after listening to bands like AC/DC and Black Sabbath again per recommendation, he realized that heaviness is not a sound but rather an attitude. With that in mind, does Road Salt Two work with or does it fall victim to its new sound? Check after the jump.
