Bijna een jaar later een nieuwe post, en ja, 1tje met mooi nieuws:
Wikipedia:
On November 1, 2008, the band debuted a new song, "Mortar Grind", from their upcoming 7th studio album.
"
And so we have commenced recording on the next world of Pain of Salvation. The %u201Creal%u201D recording is scheduled to start November 4, but we have already recorded two songs and it sounds great. We have brought the studio to the rehearsing room and record all instruments at once this time - determined to get true and honest takes. That means we all have to be on edge and get it right, and stay 100% in the song while recording. Finally we are catching those naked and trembling emotions that we always miss from the original demo recordings of every album. Musically the album is heading for a spot somewhere between the threatening vibes of Faith no More, the raw energy of Foo Fighters, the soul of Jeff Buckley and the drone of Zeppelin and the Doors. Sound-wise we are talking 1976 on steroids. All with an unbendable core of Pain of Salvation of course."
The DVD, named "Ending Themes (On the Two Deaths of Pain of Salvation)", is set to be released on January 26, 2009.

The fact that the band has seen such major changes the last two years made it very difficult emotionally to invest time and energy in this product, and it wasn't until the documentary draft was proposed by Per Hillblom that I started to see what this DVD was trying to communicate. We still have a few commentary tracks to record but we are starting to see the end of it."
The DVD is so named in recognition of the two lineup changes that happened in the past few years. The first being at the end of the 2005 world tour (The First Death Of) where Kristoffer Gildenlöw left the band due to not being able to attend rehearsals since he lived in different country to the rest of the band. He was replaced by Simon Andersson. The second change came at the end of the 2007 world tour (The Second Death Of) where Johan Langell left the band to concentrate on his family commitments. He has since been replaced by Léo Margarit for the next studio album.
