SOILWORK
Övergivenheten NUCLEAR BLAST
Melodeath veterans keep pace with the Swedish renaissance
Soilwork put their powers into overdrive
WITH AT THE Gates, Dark Tranquillity and Arch Enemy still releasing sterling albums, plus the upcoming box office bout between In Flames and The Halo Effect, Swedish melodic death metal has found itself at its most high profile for years. Naturally, you can’t approach the subgenre without mentioning Soilwork, who have been on their own run of evolution and form, as evidenced by their last full-length, 2019’s Verkligheten, and the excellent 2020 EP, A Whisp Of The Atlantic. As such, album 12 sees the Helsingborg collective brimming with confidence to push themselves while producing instantaneous songs in the process.
