Encyclopedia
Ending Themes is a live album
and documentary
by progressive metal band Pain of Salvation
. It was released on January 26, 2009 with a DVD version released on March 3, 2009. The DVD release has a double disc feature. The first disc features an 80-minute documentary of the band's 2005 world tour directed by Per Hillblom while the second disc features the full concert video from the Paradiso show recorded on March 2, 2007. A Limited Edition will also be released that will include a double audio CD version of the Amsterdam
concert. The CD version will be released independent of the DVDs as well.
The DVD is 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 a different country than the rest of the band. He was temporarily 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 family commitments. He has since been replaced by Léo Margarit
for the next studio album and the foreseeable future.
