Guitarist Peter Wichers Says SOILWORK Is "Not Going To Do As Much Touring" As In The Past
March 12, 2009, 15 years ago
MetalSucks recently caught up with SOILWORK guitarist Peter Wichers before the New York City show of their tour with DARKANE, WARBRINGER, and SWALLOW THE SUN.
Wichers spoke about his return to Soilwork, balancing band life and family life, and his various other studio projects including the solo record of NEVERMORE's WARREL DANE and the NUCLEAR BLAST ALLSTARS Out Of The Dark compilation.
An excerpt follows:
Q: Is [family life] tough to balance with the band?
A: "I've seen most of the guys in Darkane who all have kids. They are able to make this happen, so I don't see a reason why I won't be able to do that. I think that when I came back, we did talk a little bit about how we're going to do the touring in the future. I think everybody agrees that Soilwork might have done too many tours that probably they didn't have to do. I think that we're all in the same understanding that we're not going to do as much touring as we did before. We won't over-tour the records. That also made my decision a lot easier to make when I knew that that's what the guys wanted to do. A lot of the guys now are married and have wives and stuff. When I was in the band 4 years ago, everything was kind of up in the air a bit more. Since then a lot of people have settled down, and they have something to come back to at home instead of just spending a lot of time on the road."
