This disc, due to be released on March 8, comes from a band that
has continued to live by its name, meaning it has built its reputation
and its following from the ground up. This is the direction metal
today truly needs to be in. These guys sacrifice nothing in the
way of integrity with their raging fury delivered to you first class.
This is the true future and destiny of metal.
These
new-age metal pioneers could finally bring the entire entity, known
as the underground, to the surface with its no-bullshit approach
to its music. The band's work ethic knows no limitations as they
continue a seemingly unending trek upward with an amazing seven
albums since its birth in 1998 with no end in sight. This one hits
you from all directions and incorporates all the old school metal
elements with deep, rich melodies and harmonies. It fuses it all
together to form a new modern incarnation that will bring together
even the most rigorous hardcore fans as well as the fence walkers.
You simply cannot deny the magnetism of the music created on this
disc.
This
isn't music that slowly grows on you. It's the kind of thing you
can't walk away from the minute it flows out of your speakers and
into the air. Soilwork has invented the ultimate audible addiction.
This is a needed addition to anyone's collection that has a taste
for rock or metal. Sweden has never cultivated anything like this
before.
Line-up:
Bjorn "Speed" Strid- vocals, Peter Wichers- lead and rhythm
guitars, Ola Frenning- lead and rhythm guitars, Sven Karlsson- Keyboards,
Ola Flink- bass, Dirk Verbeuren- Studio Drummer
