12:5

12:5 is Pain of Salvation's first live album. It was released in 2004 and was recorded from a concert in the band's home town of Eskilstuna, Sweden on 12 March, 2004. It was an "unplugged" show, meaning that there were only acoustic instruments, i.e. no distorted guitars. It features songs from all the band's album to that date except One Hour by the Concrete Lake.

Outline

The songs of 12:5 are not simply the original studio versions played with acoustic instruments. Most have been rearranged and have new parts layered over the top of old ones. The reasoning behind this is that the band did not want to simply release "Pain of Salvation Live", but rather a performance of the band taking a more personal and different approach to the material.
