Swedish visionary metallers SOILWORK are gearing up for the release of their forthcoming 10th studio album, »The Ride Majestic«, hitting stores worldwide on August 28, 2015 via Nuclear Blast Records.
»The Ride Majestic« will be available in various formats (CD, Vinyl, TS/CD Bundle) – pre-order your copy here: http://nblast.de/SOILWORKMajesticNB
Today the band premieres the new single, ‘Enemies In Fidelity’, via Loudwire. Surf to http://loudwire.com/soilwork-enemies-in-fidelity-exclusive-song-premiere/
Vocalist Björn “Speed” Strid states, “’Enemies in Fidelity’ is indeed a very melodic and atmospheric beast. This was one of the first songs that I wrote for the new album and it holds a lot of surprises. The chorus almost sounds as if Simon and Garfunkel started a black metal band. That’s the way we like it – playful, dark, intense and melancholic. It definitely stands out, but also gives you an overall idea of what SOILWORK currently is about.
The lyrics deal with whether you should escape or succumb to the suffering that you might experience in your life, in order to find new strength. The ambivalence. The guilt and the respect towards your own existence. Being awakened and finding satisfaction through frustration and anger, to a point where it almost becomes addictive. Enjoy!”
In preparation of the album’s release, SOILWORK has created a two-part mini-documentary inviting fans and newcomers alike to take an insider’s look at their musical history. Vocalist Björn “Speed” Strid gives a one-on-one, personal account of what has shaped SOILWORK as the one of the greatest European metal bands in modern music.
