I've been woefully uninformed on Soilwork, and since I'm getting into darker, harsher music can ya fill me in on what they sound like
There isn't really anyone coming to Jaxx that I'm interested in making the trip down to see... maybe if they get some worthwhile openers.
I keep waiting for that OTHER Sveeedish band to get their tails back over here... hopefully before the next damn ProgPower!

Soilwork are part of the Gothenberg metal movemetn out of sweden. if youve heard in flames and liked them, chances are you will like soilwork, as well. melodic death is the genre name, usually awesomely heavy guitar riffs, powerful harmonies (both guitars and vox) with death vox. soilwork tends to use harmonized gang vocals in their choruses, and sometimes overdubbed clean vox, to give them a lot more powerful, almost anthemic, sounds.scooterSST said:
dark tranquillity is also of the gothenberg sound, even more similar to in flames than soilwork. DT's singer sang on in flames's first record, and anders from in flames sang for DT in the early early days before in flames officially became known.
hypocrisy is another great death metal act, tho i cant say i know as much about them as the others.
mnemic is a newer danish metal act that i can really best describe as a mixture of meshuggah and soilwork. high energy and pretty brutal.

I'll probably go, even though I don't like the last two Soilwork discs very much - the previous four were quite good, though. DT were excellent last time I saw them. Hypocrisy is OK, Mnemic sounds like Hair Metal Meshuggah to me...
Hmm. I don't seem to like a whole lot of the bill...

the newest soilwork disc, Stabbing The Drama (which i have a promo version of), is VERY good. lots of throwbacks to steelbath and chainheart, and its getting regular play for me.

No. After the first two brilliant albums, they decided to go "death rock" instead of death metal... and it's not my cup of tea. The first two discs are in my top 5 death metal albums of all time, but they don't play much if anything from those albums live and the new stuff I can't stomache.

I would like to go, but it depends on my work schedule. I am supposed to be starting another major project the end of March/beginning of April, so I don't know how much free time I'm going to have.
If I have to be in the studio at 8am the next day, it's a good bet that you won't see me there

I really liked Natural Born Chaos by Soilwork, I wasn't as impressed with Figure Number Five, but I'll likely go, if only to check them out. Of course, that's a long way down the road, and subject to change twenty times.
fuck yeah i'm going
