Soilwork  

Monday, May 26, 2008

Soilwork is a Swedish melodic death metal band from Helsingborg. They are currently signed to Nuclear Blast. Formed in late 1995, originally under the name Inferior Breed, the band changed their name in late 1996 to Soilwork (a play on words meaning, "working from the ground up") to better fit their sound. Their sound is a fusion of the classic Gothenburg metal sound with power-groove riffs of late 1970s, early 1980s British, and European metal. However, in their most recent albums Soilwork have also introduced elements from American alternative metal and adopted a more melodic sound. Their most recent work has more singing and lighter melodies than their earlier work, as well as a more polished production. Because of their more recent changes in sound, they have been likened to their label mates In Flames, labeled metalcore in some instances and even faced scrutiny by fans for their progressive sound.Members Björn "Speed" StridDaniel AntonssonSven KarlssonOla FlinkDirk Verbeuren Former members Peter WichersOla FrenningHenry RantaCarlos Del Olmo HolmbergLudvig SvartzJimmy PerssonCarl-Gustav DöösMattias Nilsson
