Following two highly acclaimed albums on Listenable Records, SOILWORK joined the Nuclear Blast roster, releasing a new bombshell each year and touring aggressively in North America, Europe, Australia and Japan. The band\u2019s unique blend of melodic metal developed at a staggering rate, most notably on the Devin Townsend produced \u201cNatural Born Chaos\u201d, the first SOILWORK recording to fully display founding member and vocal maestro Bj\u00f6rn \u201cSpeed\u201d Strid\u2019s knack for majestic melodies. The 2002 album also saw the arrival of keyboard virtuoso Sven Karlsson. In 2005, SOILWORK was joined by drummer extraordinaire Dirk Verbeuren and released \u201cStabbing The Drama\u201d which quickly became a landmark release, highlighted by an 18 month world tour and a spot on Ozzfest alongside headliners Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden. Despite a few line-up shuffles, SOILWORK and their iconic long time bassist Ola Flink continued to conquer fans worldwide, recording two more outstanding albums and touring relentlessly alongside bands such as Lamb of God and Killswitch Engage. In 2012, with guitar tandem Sylvain Coudret and David Andersson on board, SOILWORK spent eight months writing and recording \u201cThe Living Infinite\u201d, the first double album in melodic death metal history. Adventurous yet true to the band\u2019s identity, this Jens Bogren produced twenty song powerhouse is the ultimate proof that SOILWORK are true masters of their art, and as relevant as ever!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Living Infinite\u201d release dates:<br \/>\nFebruary 27th, 2013 (Asia)<br \/>\nMarch 1st, 2013 (Europe)<br \/>\nMarch 4th, 2013 (UK)<br \/>\nMarch 5th, 2013 (North America)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vocalist Bj\u00f6rn &#8221;Speed&#8221; Strid and his squad of SOILWORK definitely belong to the essential tops of the modern melodic thrash-branch.
