=== ''Somewhere on the Other Side of Nowhere'' (2007β2011) === [[File:Gustavo Aued.jpg|thumb|Gustavo Aued]] On May 21, 2007, Powerman 5000 claimed via a [[Myspace]] blog post that they will be releasing a new studio album in 2007. The following is taken directly from said post: ''"Considering the bands track record of putting out CDs once every three years it seems hard to believe that, yes we will put out a new disc in 2007!! It's all just beginning to develop and the wheres, whos and whats are to be determined but new rock is on the way!!"'' However, talk about the record soon simmered, and no new information was released. Finally, in December 2008, the new track "Super Villain" premiered on the band's Myspace page, showcasing their return to their platinum-selling sound of the late 1990s. On January 28, 2009, a preview of tracks from their upcoming sixth studio album were posted on the group's Myspace page, containing clips from the songs "Super Villain", "V Is for Vampire", and "Horror Show". Powerman 5000 posted that "Super Villain" would become available for digital purchase on February 10, 2009, on [[iTunes]] and [[Amazon (company)|Amazon]]. On April 7, 2009, Powerman 5000 released a blog on their Myspace page stating that ''[[Anyone for Doomsday?]]'' has officially been re-released. The legal battle ended and the album was released under the SKG Music License. The album is available on iTunes as a digital download. On April 21, 2009, the band released "V Is for Vampire", the second single from their album, which is planned for a summer release. On July 7, 2009, Powerman 5000 released a blog on their Myspace page<ref>{{cite web |url=http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=3276157&blogId=498981568 |title=NEW ALBUM IS FINISHED!!!!!!
