A new song 'Once Upon A Lifetime ' by Israeli Death Metallers Salem, can be streamed at the official MySpace's page at this location. The song comes off the band's upcoming album, "Necessary Evil", due later in the year via France's Season of Mist.
A second song will be made available in the very near future.
According to the group, the new material is "modern, dark, highly unique" and "heavier" than their previous efforts. The follow-up to 2005's "Strings Attached", which may or may not be released as a double album, will include a 27-minute piece entitled "Once Upon a Lifetime Parts I - V".

A video clip of the song 'The Fading' at the Barbie club in Tel Aviv on March 28 has been posted online at YouTube.

Salem has also confirmed their appearance at the Hellfest to promote the release of their new album "Necessary Evil". Hellfest is set to take place June 22-24 in Clisson, France.

Taken from a message posted on the Pain Of Salvation website :

"So, let it be publically known: on the 10th of March, after the Copenhagen show, Simon Andersson was welcomed into Pain of Salvation as a full member. He did an outstanding job on the tour and we are looking forward to the coming years with great anticipation. Since his girlfriend is a huge Pain of Salvation fan, we happily expect to see this decision put a little silver lining on their sex life as well, since she can now all of a sudden go to bed with a member of the band

Congratulations Simon, and welcome to the family!"
