SOILWORK‘s Björn Strid comments on their new longplayer:
“The title track of this album just might be the pinnacle of this band’s musical journey – it sums up everything that we’ve ever been about and the sometimes risky musical venture that this band embarked on some 20 years ago. To me this song is as close to the heart as it gets.”
The announcement of Övergivenheten comes with the band’s first single, which is the title track ‘Övergivenheten’ and delivers a great introduction to SOILWORK‘s first studio album in three years!

| About SOILWORK‘s steady consistency in creativity, which they have been delivering for years and also inspiring their fans with, is probably the most appropriate virtue that describes the band. Founded at the end of 1995, SOILWORK released their debut album Steelbath Suicide in 1998, which already received a good response. Between their debut album and album number five there were only five years, which means that by 2005 the bandalready had a lot of material out and since the switch to Nuclear Blast in 2001 at the latest, they had made the breakthrough. After a three-year album break, also caused by pandemic and difficult working conditions, SOILWORK are standing now in the starting blocks with their twelfth album Övergivenheten which is set to release in August 2022. Additionally, the band announced that Rasmus Ehrborn has officially joined as new bass player in the beginning of this year, which makes the SOILWORK line-up complete and ready again to capture the stages around the world! SOILWORK is: Björn “Speed” Strid – vocals David Andersson – guitars Sven Karlsson – keyboards Sylvain Coudret – guitars Bastian Thusgaard – drums Rasmus Ehrnborn – bass SOILWORK www.facebook.com/soilwork www.instagram.com/soilwork www.twitter.com/soilwork www.soilwork.org www.nuclearblast.de/soilwork |
