New Soilwork album

[TravestyOfMan]

Anyone heard anything about the new Soilwork album, or heard any tracks. I've only heard the sample track on the Nuclear Blast site ( http://www.nuclearblast.de/media/NB_0581.ram ) - sounds okay, hopefully the rest of the album is better. What do you guys and gals think?

I heard one song of the new Rock Hard CD, don't remember the name though.. but anyway, it sounds great!

 

[Manbient]

a lot of people are saying it's BETTER than both APP and The Chainheart machine! if so... FUCK I NEED IT I heard one song... interesting... almost a bit atmospheric with keys (yeah you heard me right... soilwork being atmospheric) Not as agressive though, and some good clean vocals. Anyway i can't wait to hear the rest, definitely an album on my to buy list!

It kicks ass. I like As We Speak and Song Of The Damned. It's a little different from their older stuff but not a drastic change...I like what they've done a lot.

 

[Mammon]

I have the whole album (from audio galaxy)...

it's quite good. A lot of clean vocals compared to older work, I think.

 

[Hondo]

It's out in March sometime. I have Black Star Deceiver and Song of the Damned, both very good. SotD is like Asylum Dance somehow. BSD is the one with Devon Townsend singing a bit.

I'm holding off on the rest of the songs until I buy it.

yea ive almost downloaded the whole cd. its very good and something worth pickin up.

 

[hibernal_dream]

Yeah, its ok, a bit generic but an expected progression for me, so its not so bad. APP can't be beaten, so bumblefoot don't get too excited

It's definitely what you'd get when you combine Devin Townsend with Soilwork. There's lots of melodic keyboard work, as opposed to the strictly ambient stuff they've done in the past. The most noticeable change is what they did with Strid's voice.. the results are absolutely amazing. I flipped out when i heard the chorus on "As We Speak", and the high points he reaches on "Mindfields" are amazing as well.

The album isn't as heavy as APP, but it's damn good. It still has those chunky riffs, great lyrics and guitar solos... all characteristic of Soilwork.

And yes, I did audiogalaxy the album, but as soon as I see the actual cd on store shelves, it's mine
