I can't believe there isn't a thread about Peter Wichers rejoining Soilwork on here..

[Metal Overload]

I started to love SW because their distinctive guitar harmonies and riffs, they had something that i couldn´t relate to anything else, but they were losing that magic in guitars since FNF and started to focus on the Choruses, which i like too but no that much. my girlfriend give me Sworn as a gift, the special edition, i like the album but i barely listen to it, i don´t know, it has something that doesn´t hook me, i can go a listen NBC or Predators like 3 times in a row without getting bored, but this is like "Nah, put something else"

But back on topic, i´m really glad that peter is back, amazing guitarrist, and pretty cool guy, talked to him once.

The Chainheart Machine and A Predator's Portrait are my favourites. I started listening to them around then (late 1999 / early 2000), so those albums represent their peak in music to me I didn't much care for the more vocal-oriented style they started testing during FNF and then fully in STD. Steelbath Suicide and Natural Born Chaos are nice too, but not their best as albums - more like a song here, another there. That's where APP shines especially - the entire album is full of coherent killer stuff without any skippable songs.

Hope the new production is guna be good!
Didn't like the guitar tone on the last two albums

Natural Born Chaos [is] nice too, but not their best as [an] album - more like a song here, another there. That's where APP shines especially - the entire album is full of coherent killer stuff without any skippable songs.

Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way!

I usually think of Chainheart as my favourite because it has more songs I consider 10s, but there's also a 7 or two that I tend to block out from memory. Whenever I hear Portrait, I am pleasantly reminded that it is pretty much solid 8.5 - 9s straight through, start to finish. Choosing a fave is a tough call, but a great problem to have.

Man oh man....you guys are telling me that pre-NBC is based on Speed's attempt in a catchy soft rock radio chorus?

Soilwork is still the most musically talented group of people that i have seen in action, especially so with Peter writing the music.

I wouldn't mind an attempt at that catchy soft girl in the plaid shorts.

Good to see him back! My fav "songwise" is Predator's Portrait. Every album is good, though.

And Daniel Antonsson is the new bassist of Dark Tranquillity...
