Shaun Morgan, prior to the next album's release, claimed that it would be more diverse than previous efforts. ''[[Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces]]'' was slated for an August 2007 release but was delayed until 23 October 2007 due to the [[suicide]] of Morgan's brother, Eugene Welgemoed. The album debuted at number 9 in the Billboard 200 album charts, and sold 57,000 copies in its first week. Its cover artwork featured "Candice the Ghost", and was illustrated by [[David Ho (artist)|David Ho]]. The first single, "[[Fake It (Seether song)|Fake It]]", reached the top position of the US Mainstream Rock Charts and Modern Rock Charts, and held that spot for at least 9 weeks on both charts. It became the theme for [[WWE]]'s [[No Way Out (2008)]]. "[[Rise Above This]]", written for Eugene Welgemoed, was released as a single and reached the No.&nbsp;1 spot on the [[Modern Rock Tracks]] chart and No.&nbsp;2 on its mainstream counterpart, [[Mainstream Rock Songs]]. The final single from the album was "Breakdown", the video for which was released on 12 November 2008 after a delay from its original scheduled release date of 23 October. ''Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces'' won Seether's first [[South African Music Awards|South African Music Award]] in the category "Best Rock: English", as well as their first [[MTV Africa Music Awards|MTV Africa Music Award]] for "Best Alternative Artist".

A tour launched in support of the album in early 2008 lasted much of the year.

Bands Seether shared the stage with on the tour included [[Three Days Grace]], [[Finger Eleven]], [[Breaking Benjamin]], [[3 Doors Down]], [[Skillet (band)|Skillet]], [[Red (band)|Red]], [[Papa Roach]], [[Flyleaf (band)|Flyleaf]], [[Econoline Crush]], and Staind. McLawhorn was afterwards made an official member of the band.
