SOILWORK
- Overgivenheten
Nuclear Blast Records
This one helluv a catchy album. I'd say one of their best releases since 'A Predator's Portrait. The guitars are simply amazing and the vocals fluctuate sometimes screaming sometimes singing clean. This reminded me a little of metalcore bands but they've got their own sound to them. Sad about losing their guitarist David Andersson. It's tragic as he was only 47. But being his last effort with the band, I thought the riffs were just amazing. Such feel to their album and variety. Between clean vocals, melodic guitar riffs and a solid sound quality in their overall production. What a monument of an album!
There were a lot of clean tone segments but the
guitars that were heavy drowned them out.
But yeah, those segments of clean work show so much essence to their
souls. It's not a super long release but
it's so quality in their musicianship.
I've been following Soilwork since 'The Chainheart
Machine' came out I believe in 1998.
I've always admired their music and songwriting capabilities. They were always tops with me. And this album does the band justice
wholeheartedly. I liked this whole
release and it shows the emotional state of the band. Mainly the songwriters they were totally
innovative and strong. These guys have
been making good music since the late 90's.
I always liked their melodic death metal genre. Though, nowadays they're more melodic death
mix with a little metalcore. It's still
likeable material, don't get me wrong, they're just not as heavy as in the
early Soilwork days.
These guys still have a great deal to offer despite
losing David last year. He was with the
band for about 10 years. A lot of his
work was with the final release with this one.
He was so talented. And that
totally shows on this release.
Old Soilwork is gone, but the new is still going
strong with their melodic music and amazing musicianship!
