Kaaos TV caught up with Soilwork vocalist Björn "Speed" Strid and guitarist David Andersson at the South Park festival in Tampere, Finland on June 11th. One of the topics of conversation of the interview below was Soilwork drummer Dirk Verbeuren being tapped to fill in for Chris Adler on the current Megadeth tourby Dave Mustaine...

 

Soilwork will release a special collection of rarities under the monicker Death Resonance, out on August 19th via Nuclear Blast Records. The album artwork was created by Mnemic guitarist Mircea Gabriel Eftemie.

 

 

Says vocalist Björn 'Speed' Strid: "The cover for Death Resonance is made by Mircea Eftemie and in many ways he has managed to capture what we went through while recording The Ride Majestic: the sorrow, the close encounter with death, the aftermath and also the existential cogitation that came with it. It links those albums together, even though Death Resonance contains unreleased material from 2005 onwards. The cover almost seems like a link between life and death and not only captures where the band is right now, but also where we've been and what lies ahead."
