===''Tillbaka till samtiden'' and ''Box 1991–2008'' (2007–2008)=== {{details|topic=the albums|Tillbaka till samtiden|Box 1991–2008}} [[File:Kent-2008-halmstad1.jpg|thumb|Kent performing in [[Halmstad]] in February 2008]] During December 2006 – 2007 the band announced—on two different occasions—that they had started recording their seventh Swedish studio album, and that [[guitar]]ist Harri Mänty had decided to leave the band.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.expressen.se/noje/harri-lamnar-kent/|title=Harri lämnar Kent|website=Expressen.se|date=10 January 2007 |accessdate=11 August 2022}}</ref> {{listen |pos=left | filename = Ingenting (2007).ogg | title = "Ingenting" (2007) | description = Sample of "Ingenting" from the album ''[[Tillbaka till samtiden]]''. | format = [[Ogg]] }} On 18 July 2007, the band announced the title and release date of their new album, ''[[Tillbaka till samtiden]]'' (Swedish for "Back to the Present"). Its official release was on 17 October 2007 but many stores began selling it five days in advance due to an internet leak of the album. The first single of the album was released on 17 September 2007 with the title "[[Ingenting (single)|Ingenting]]" (Swedish for "Nothing"). The band played four songs at a private gig in [[Denmark]] where their new album premiered. The sound of the album has been described as more electro based rock. Due to the speed in which the tour's concerts were sold out, the band added seven extra concerts to their Scandinavian tour. As well, lead singer Joakim Berg has remarked that ''Tillbaka till samtiden'' contains some of his favourite material he has recorded. They were also presented with ''Album of the Year'' and ''Group of the Year'' at the [[Grammis|2008 Swedish Grammy Awards]]. They went on to win a [[Rockbjörnen]] (Swedish for "The rock bear") award for ''Swedish Album of the Year'' and a [[P3 Guld]] award for ''Swedish Group of the Year''. Kent released the compilation ''[[Box 1991–2008]]'', featuring all their previous studio albums and previously unreleased material, in all [[Nordic countries]] on 29 October 2008. In October 2008, their 2002 song "[[FF / VinterNoll2|VinterNoll2]]" was included in ''[[Guitar Hero World Tour]]'', becoming the first and to date only Swedish-language song to be included in a ''[[Guitar Hero]]'' game.<ref>[https://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/spela/a/3j1g3P/kent-med-i-nya-guitar-hero Kent med i nya ”Guitar hero”], ''Aftonbladet.se''</ref> On 23 December 2008, Kent released a new song, "På drift?". "Kent wishes you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year by offering a brand new song for free," the band writes on their website (kent.nu).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.aftonbladet.se/a/21VEjx|title=Kents julklapp till fansen|website=Aftonbladet.se|date=23 December 2008 |accessdate=11 August 2022}}</ref>
