1. Pathos is a band located in Gothenburg, Sweden who knows how to mix their influences. Every kind of metal you could think of you will find in their music. No matter if its Thrash, Doom, Power, Progressive or Death or traditional Heavy Metal, in Pathos you'll find it. The name of Pathos came from an instrumental tune written by Lennart Specht in the early nineties. The song & the band was originally called Depict Pathos. The band wanted a name that could describe emotions in one way or another. This name seamed to fit the varying type of music that the band started to play in May 1995.
In the autumn 1995 Pathos recorded a five-track demo tape in a small studio in their home- town Trollhättan in Sweden. About the same time Stefan Carlsson, at that point singing with Neocori & Memento Mori, joined the band. In 96 the band came in touch with Liphone Metal when they were about to record their second demo tape. The songs made a big impression on Börje Lindqvist manager at Liphone Metal, who wanted to put the song Hoverface on a compilation album. Later the same year Pathos signed with Liphone Metal. The album "Hoverface" was recorded at Lirec studios in Uddevalla Sweden 1997. Later the same year Black Mark Productions signed the band and made a new front cover for the album and then they re-released it. The 23:d of March 1998 Pathos started the work with their second studio album that they called "Uni versus Universe" and by the time that the album was recorded Pathos decided to split with Black Mark. In September 1998 Pathos released the album through Liphone Metal in Sweden exclusively. In December 1999 Pathos played their last gigs with singer Stefan Carlsson who left the band (for personal reasons) early 2000 and Pathos spent 6 months searching for a new singer. When summer came Paul Schöning joined the band and Pathos started the work with a seven track "demo" that was recorded a weekend in August in Gothenburg. In 2001 Pathos signed a deal with RoastingHouse Productions in Malmö Sweden. In February 2002 Pathos together with producer Anders "Theo" Theander (Majestic, Pain of Salvation, Last Tribe, Midnight Sun etc), recorded and produced the album "Katharsis", and made it the bands greatest achievement so far. Great sound, good songs and an astonishing cover designed by Niklas Sundin The members from Pathos can also be found in various other project bands. Daniel Antonsson plays in a melodic death-metal band called Dimension Zero with members from In Flames amongst others, and in a Cosmic Doom Boogie band called Elecxsir, Thomas Antonsson & Esko Salow plays together in a Power/Speed-metal act called Nostradameus and a Swedish folk music band called Fejd, Lennart Specht plays in Fejd together with Esko and Thomas, Paul Schöning has a project called Power Plant, and some singer/songwriter projects.

4. Pathos from Spokane released a couple demos and full-length "Perdition Splits the Skies" on Intolerant Messiah. They played a mix of virtuosic technical black metal and unrelenting deathgrind. For fans of Mitochondrion, Deathspell Omega, etc. "Pathos was an extreme underground metal outfit based in the Northwestern US. We play over the top technical music that incorporates elements of death metal, black metal, grind, speed metal, classical, and flamenco as well as various other styles. Dealing primarily with dystopic and misanthropic themes pertaining to life in this modern world of shit. Ultra-technical, blackened death-grind!"

Suicidal Saviour Lies
Pathos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My soul is screaming and my eyes are darkened
Now take me away, let me breathe, let me sleep
Take me away, let me feel joy again...
My life is lonely and my future is bleak
This time I've lost it and I cant find the way out
Give me a day, give me a night, without pain
Born to laughter, grown up with tears
When will the pressure end?
When will it all descend?
The tide is high now and it's time to leave
This ship is ready but I'm lost, lost at sea
Now take me away, let me breathe, let me sleep
Take me away, let me feel joy again...
Born to laughter, grown up with tears
Distorted, jaded, uncontrolled
But the suicidal saviour lies...
Born to laughter, grown up with tears
When will the pressure end?
But the suicidal saviour lies...
The lyrics to Pathos's song "Suicidal Saviour Lies" convey a deep sense of hopelessness and despair. The singer feels overwhelmed by life's difficulties, and he longs for a respite from the pain and sorrow that have become his constant companions. His heart and soul are in turmoil, and he can barely see a way forward. He begs to be taken away to a place where he can breathe and let go of his burdens.
The lyrics suggest that the singer has been struggling for a long time. He describes his life as lonely and bleak, and he feels as though he has lost his way. Despite his cries for help, he is still haunted by his past, and the pressure of his problems continues to mount. He has reached the point where he no longer wants to live, but he clings to a faint hope that there might be a way out.
The final lines of the song suggest that there is a part of the singer that wants to survive. He refers to himself as the "suicidal saviour," implying that he has the power to save himself from his own self-destructive impulses. However, the fact that he is lying suggests that he is not yet able to act on this potential. The song raises important questions about mental health, resilience, and the struggle to find meaning and purpose in a world that often seems cruel and uncaring.
