Swedish melodic death metal legends Soilwork have dropped a double dose of good news for Aussie fans today. The Swedes have announced that not only do they have a new album Övergivenheten set for release via Nuclear Blast on August 19th, but they'll be headed to Australia in support of it this November.
The tour will hit Perth, before heading through Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, with the band playing songs from the new album Övergivenheten, as well as all the classics from their long and illustrious career.
To celebrate the good news, the band released a video for the titular track of Övergivenheten that you can watch below.
Soilwork have evolved both musically and lyrically and Övergivenheten, the album represents a new phase of their career which is marked by a time period that probably no one on this planet will quickly forget. The amazing results provided on Övergivenheten shows a band that not only worked incredibly hard on producing such a stunning album but one that reflects years of development and experience as a band.
Soilwork comments on Övergivenheten:
"The title track of this album just might be the pinnacle of this band’s musical journey - it sums up everything that we’ve ever been about and the sometimes-risky musical venture that this band embarked on some 20 years ago. To us this song is as close to the heart as it gets”
The band also announced that Rasmus Ehrborn has officially joined as a new bass player at the beginning of this year, which makes the Soilwork line-up complete and ready again to capture the stages around the world!
