Alright a European friend of mine(does'nt want to be named), thats in the Music Industry, has heard some of the new material from their upcoming album, here's what he said about it:
......."I heard parts of the
new album of Soilwork. It's cool: Some bits are more melodic, some bits are straighter, some bits are harsher."

Thats his take on what he heard, & he liked it allot.........

Wow, thats only the most vauge description possible

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

Hey guys, check the Soilwork board for more info.

*There's a little glimpse of the new album there*

 

[LIZ METAL]

@ Brooks

DE, can't your contact compare the "bits" to bits from bands?

EX: "bits of it sound like something off Running Wild's Victory and bits of it sounds like a breast arisen from Testament's Demonic." (<~~~example only)

Something along those lines anyways

I can't wait for the release regardless!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

Well the new song is pretty good, not what I expected though.

 

[Deadly Embrace]

Wow, thats only the most vauge description possible

I only posted what he said, I know it's a bit vauge, but I did'nt write, it was written to me...........I'll check out their site though

 

[The Omnipotent Bob]

I think I'll DL it and delete it after a week like their last 2 albums. this is their last chance. 3 strikes and you're out........

 

[dRIFTWOOD]

hey bob, i agree about the last cd, what a piece of crap! WAY too melodic, and not enough aggression...but i still listen to Predator's Portrait alot. If they were going to shift gears, that was a decent way to do it. Not nearly as good and fast as the first two, but very solid nonetheless. then they crossed the line with NBC. ugh. can't wait to hear this new stuff though. hey! i'm going to try to make it to the Black Label Society/Nashville Pussy show in April at 4thandb, are you interested? I like BLS alot. you said you were going to the maidens show, but what about Death Angel?

 

[Brooks]

That new song Rejection Role is really crap. If the rest of the album is like that, I wont be buying the new Soilwork.

Take a listen here

[estigma2001]

[The Omnipotent Bob]

driftwood - I aint into BLS, so I'll miss that one. I really nashville pussy too.

Im super pissed Im gonna miss death angel tonight. I have to go to a chicks bday party that was planned way before I knew of DA comin down here. mega bummer. hopefully I'll get some tail. that'll make up for it.

 

[Deadly Embrace]

I listened to Rejection Role, & if thats an indictation of the new album sound, then it's defineately a continuation of Natural Born Choas...........but any Soilwork is good Soilwork.........I would have liked it to be heavier but such is life...........
