SOILWORK Talk The Ride Majestic – “It’s Slightly Darker, A Little Bit Of A Different Atmosphere On This One”

Louder Noise has uploaded a new interview with Bjorn “Speed” Strid and Dirk Verbeuren from Soilwork.

On their new album The Ride Majestic, Strid states: “It’s slightly darker, a little bit of a different atmosphere on this one. I think we rediscovered ourselves as songwriters through The Living Infinite being a double album. There was some tragic events that happened when we entered the studio, we had four deaths within our families so that was really rough.”

 

Soilwork have released the official music video for the second single, “Enemies In Fidelity”, off their chartbreaking new album, The Ride Majestic.

Vocalist Björn “Speed” Strid states, “The video for “Enemies In Fidelity” captures the hardship of maintaining friendships between friends or lovers and how the struggle sometimes gets addictive, very often to a point where you lose yourself and hatred takes over.”​
